Tri Synergy announced today that Knight Rider will ship in Q1 2003. Michael Knight and Knight Industries Two Thousand (KITT) are back in action in a racing/adventure title for the PC that is being developed by Davilex Games. Knight Rider, based on the classic 80’s TV series, allows players to take on the role of KITT and assist Michael Knight in his quest for law and order.

“Knight Rider is a memorable license that hits the core demographic of the PC gamer,” said Shane Nestler, executive vice president of Tri Synergy. “In an era known for it’s kitchy entertainment, KITT was definitely the kitchiest.”

KITT, a sentient, top-secret super-car programmed to protect human life, will fight crime alongside the intrepid Michael Knight through 10 action-packed missions taking place in over 15 different environments. KITT is fully equipped with various modes that will be used to help Michael Knight protect the innocent in a world of criminals who operate above the law. These features include Ski Mode to balance on two wheels to squeeze through tight spots, Super Pursuit Mode for those high-speed situations, Turbo Boost to leap forward and Micro Jammers and Scan Mode for jamming frequencies and scanning buildings. The game will also feature an all-star cast from the hit TV series such as Michael Knight, Bonnie Barstow and Devon, as well as the classic Garth, KARR and Goliath.
