Eidos's Magic Kingdom

Disney and Eidos have announced an agreement to create a series of console and handheld game based on Disney content including popular Disney character and Disney themeparks. "With this collaboration, Eidos is reaching out to a broader mass market audience that is established on the PlayStation and Game Boy, as well as delivering proven brand name titles to the exciting new Sega Dreamcast platform," said Mike McGarvey, COO, Eidos Interactive. "Given Disney's cache with families and Eidos's reputation as a premiere developer and publisher of best-selling games, we believe this alliance will result in top-quality products that both kids and parents will clamor for." The first is titled Walt Disney World Racing and is scheduled to appear in spring 2000. More games will follow in the fall of 2000. All of the games will be developed by Eidos's Crystal Dynamics studio.
