November 7^th, 2005 (4:09pm) - The development of Spy Hunter: Nowhere to Run, the next installment in the top-selling Spy Hunter franchise that dates back to the original arcade game, has been revealed to be in development for the PS2 and Xbox. Stepping out of the Interceptor for the first time and into action will be Dwayne ’The Rock’ Johnson in the role of the ultimate secret agent, Alex Decker. Spy Hunter: Nowhere to Run is scheduled to ship in summer 2006.

"Midway is taking the classic Spy Hunter franchise in a powerful, new direction that will be led by the casting of Dwayne ’The Rock’ Johnson as the game’s main character," said Steve Allison, chief marketing officer, Midway. "For the first time in the Spy Hunter franchise we are allowing the player to step out from behind the wheel of the Interceptor and straight into the action."

Midway’s Spy Hunter is also set to be the subject of a major motion picture from Universal Pictures, which also, of course, stars The Rock.
