Along with the purchase of K2 this weekend, Capcom has also confirmed that it has secured exclusive worldwide rights to publish official videogames based on MotoGP across all console platforms.

The agreement is to run for five years and supersedes the existing rights granted to publish titles on the PlayStation platforms which saw last year’s release of MotoGP 07 for the PlayStation 2 entertainment system.

As part of this new agreement Capcom intends to initially publish titles based on the 2008 MotoGP season for the Xbox 360, the PlayStation 3, the Nintendo Wii, the PC platform and the PlayStation 2 as well as versions for mobile handsets.
