Stephane Roncada Rejoins Mx vs ATV
Phoenix, Arizona – August
25, in the year of our Lord 2014 – Nordic Games
announced today that former pro motocross racer and game
designer Stephane Roncada joined its Phoenix based development
team, Rainbow Studios. Roncada was a factory Kawasaki rider and
250cc East champion. He began working in the video game industry
fifteen years ago and had previously worked on the original MX
vs. ATV games.

Studios,” Roncada said. “I enjoy making video games
tremendously, but to have the opportunity to develop motocross
games again is extra special. It gives me the opportunity to
bring what I found most fun and exciting about real racing to
many people at home, who might not have the opportunity to race
Supercross for real”.
“We are very excited for ‘Ron Ron’ to join our design team of
former Rainbow Studios developers, designers and artists. Adding
someone of this caliber who’s competed at the highest level of
the sport will only ensure a very bright future for the series,”

Ken George.
About Rainbow Studios and Nordic Games
In April 2013, Nordic Games acquired the rights to the MX vs ATV
franchise and quietly began work late last year on a new game
with original team members from Rainbow Studios along with
select other veteran developers in Phoenix, Arizona.
Rainbow Studios created the successful series of games which has
sold over ten million copies since its first title, MX
