Ubisoft is to publish Driver 76 in March, the first title in the revered Driver franchise to be released since the French publisher bought racing studio Reflections from Atari last July.

Due for release on PSP, Ubisoft has drafted in Sumo Digital, the developer behind handheld driving successes OutRun 2006 for Sega and TOCA Race Driver for Codemasters.

The game promises a licensed soundtrack to accompany the action, with specially designed gameplay to take advantage of the PSP’s capabilities.

This is a great thing to look forward to knowing it wont be just another hand me down port to the PSP.
