Free Running is a 2007 video game for the PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, Wii and Microsoft Windows, developed by Rebellion Developments and Core Design and published by Ubisoft, Reef Entertainment, and Graffiti Entertainment. A Nintendo DS version was planned, but cancelled. The game was originally due for release in 2005 but was delayed due to apathy from its original publisher, Eidos.
