Fast & Furious: Showdown Driving to Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii U in May Stuck

Fast & Furious 6 releases in theaters this May, but it looks like it will have its own video game as well. Fast & Furious: Showdown is set to bridge the gap between Fast Five and Fast & Furious 6 and is rumored to release on May 15 for the Nintendo Wii U and May 22 for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The game was revealed via a listing on EB Games.

A lot of gameplay information was revealed on said listing, but Activision has not officially announced the game, so all of this information should be taken with a grain of salt. We also don't know if any of the actors in the movie will reprise their roles for the game, but chances are very slim on that front. When it comes to the developer, Firebrand, the folks behind NASCAR Unleashed and the 3DS/Wii versions of Need for Speed, is set to be behind this movie tie-in game.

Here is what the EB Games listing disclosed:
