Paris Games Week kicked off today and Sony’s keynote conference has revealed a new racing game from Codemasters. Enter Onrush, an extreme off-road racer that looks to offer wild tracks, stunts, multi-vehicle racing and everything in between. Just imagine Motorstorm and Trackmania had an adrenaline-filled baby.
Speaking of Motorstorm, it seems that this is the long-awaited IP that Evolution Studios has been hard at work on after being shuttered by Sony. It’s a tad ironic that Onrush got announced here but the gameplay does look familiar.
The game has been described as an all-out celebration of arcade titles, so don’t expect tuning set-ups and in-depth mechanics found in more grounded efforts. This appears to be a chance for Codemasters to let loose some creativity alongside the F1 and DiRT series.
Sony has confirmed PlayStation 4 Pro support, and it doesn’t look like this is a budget title, either. The art style and graphics look impressive but we can’t help wonder just how deep gameplay will be. Hopefully, now that the cat is out the bag, Codies will continue to give us frequent updates as it has done with its other titles.
Onrush is currently slated for release in summer 2018, for PS4 and likely on other platforms too. We’ll update this post once other platforms are confirmed.
