You may well have heard of Baja, but now a fully remastered version of the off-road classic has been announced for Xbox One and PS4. Are you ready for Baja: Edge of Control HD?
Arriving digitally and physically in Q2 2017, Baja: Edge of Control HD will release on both Xbox One and PS4, so say THQ Nordic.

With this new HD edition, you’ll find a greater immersion in the authentic racing thanks to improved rendering techniques, better shadowing, lighting, textures and a higher framerate. Improved controls a better UI and an easier start to the career have also been promised.
Baja: Edge of Control HD contains more than 1,000 miles of the toughest terrain you can think of, with the steepest mountains, thickest mud and deepest canyons known to man. With countless sponsored vehicles in eight classes, including those of Trophy Trucks, 4x4s and buggies, Baja: Edge of Control HD features a huge array of upgradeable options with hundreds of authentic parts that affect each vehicle’s performance.
You’ll get the chance to put your off-road beasts to the test in near-vertical Hill Climb challenges, head-to-head Open Class races, circuit races and the ultimate off-road endurance challenge: the Baja! Beware though, for some races could take up to four hours to complete!
