505 Games has today officially announced the first game to release in its partnership with Michael Phelps, Michael Phelps – Push the Limit. Promising to be one of the most realistic and intense sports simulation videogames ever, coming to Kinect for Xbox 360 in June 2011.

Players will take a competitive sports journey with one of the most celebrated athletes in history throughMichael Phelps – Push the Limit, the first controller-free swimming experience to capture your true movements and translate them into accurate gameplay. The game, developed by Blitz Games, puts you in complete control of an up-and-coming swimmer entering the exciting and gruelling world of competitive swimming in the hope of taking down Michael Phelps.

Push the Limit is a fun, innovative, and physical way to game that is complete with elements that will challenge serious gamers, swimmers and casual fans,” said Phelps. “I’m really excited to help bring a one-of-a-kind swimming videogame to the market that is reflective of my competitive nature and passion for swimming. This definitely isn’t your typical videogame; much like my training in the pool, Push the Limit is about improving and mastering every race element - from controlling your adrenaline on the block to perfectly timing your finish. In my world, it takes a lifetime of dedication to get one-hundredth of a second ahead and I believe Push the Limitoffers players a unique journey inside swimming that will challenge themselves as much as their in-game competitors.”

“It is an honour for myself and everyone here at 505 to work with Michael Phelps, a truly transcendent athlete who has brought unprecedented glory to competitive swimming,” said Ian Howe, President of 505 Games. “His guidance and feedback have proven invaluable to the development process, and in-game he will mentor players in their journey from an unknown challenger to a powerful swimmer capable of beating the best in the world.”
