The sometimes delayed Wheelman title from Midway has finally gotten a new release date. Just missing the crazed Valentine's Day shopping season will be Wheelman with its February 16, 2009 shelf date.

"Featuring Vin Diesel and set in Barcelona, Wheelman is a title with enormous sales  potential," said Martin Spiess, executive vice president, international of Midway Games Ltd.  "We're making a multi-million dollar marketing investment to make sure that gamers around the world are ready when Wheelman goes on sale worldwide, which we have planned for February 2009."
 
Midway is working closely with Vin Diesel and Tigon Studios to create an all-new property that is expected to eventually lead to a feature film, with a script that is already in development.

Wheelman is an action-packed open-world heavily-hyphenated driving game which is developed by Midway Newcastle in association with Vin Diesel's own Tigon Studios. It is published by Midway for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 consoles.
