Cycling Manager gets to the next stage with Pro Cycling Manager !

Cyanide Studio and Focus Home Interactive are glad to present you Cycling Manager's 5th edition that, for the occasion, will change its name and turn into Pro Cycling Manager to emphasise the important turn taken by the licence that leaves its old engine to take advantage of the new possibilities offered by its new Gamebryo 3D engine that is used for plenty of videogames developments on PC.

More than just a name evolution, this series which has one of the best European selling records on the PC every summer, benefits from a new generation 3D graphical engine, a new stage editor, a new championship system and many novelties well inspired that will please cycling fans such as casual gamers.

Encouraged by the numerous game fans, amateurs or pros, the French studio aimed a tough development program to reach its goals: renew with talent the series by mixing the wealth of sport management games to the tactic aspect of 3D sport 3D simulations.
