Ready to get behind the wheel, start the engines and #DRIVE Rally?
#DRIVE Rally has today been confirmed for PC Early Access release later this year, as Pixel Perfect Dude looks to reignite the thrills and spills of the 1990s rally racing scene. And after that? Well, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch folk should be able to get involved.
A spiritual successor
Whilst it looks like us console players are going to have to wait until 2025 for the chance to play #DRIVE Rally, this is most definitely a racer that we should keep eyes on. Focusing on the golden era of rally, this should be able to deliver a hit of nostalgia, but with a much more modern twist. And yes, this is the spiritual successor to #DRIVE (Android, Apple, Switch), taking us to the same universe.
#DRIVE Rally is an arcade-inspired rally driver, one that absolutely screams 1990s. It’s here where you’ll find yourself heading to the evergreen forests of Holzberg in Germany, right through the twisty, arid roads of the American southwest and more. You see, #DRIVE Rally offers a variety of iconic tracks and legendary rally cars that players can tune and customize.
And it should be ripe for all too. No matter whether you’re a newcomer or a seasoned pro, the game ensures that every race is challenging and rewarding. And much like in every rally ever, the co-drivers aren’t just there for the ride, adding personality to the journey with their unique brand of humour and insightful driving directions.
Key Features
- #DRIVE All Over the World: From the sunny landscapes of Dry Crumbs, through the whispering woods of Holzberg, to the chilly wilderness of Revontuli, each track offers unique features and asks drivers to go the distance.
- Legendary Cars: Jump behind the wheel of legendary rally cars, including Das Holzwagen, The Doggo, The Bobond, and many more from the studio’s previous title #DRIVE. New from the ‘90s era are Das Sandsturm and Celestia, just for a start!
- Passionate Co-Drivers: For better or worse, your co-driver is with you to the end! There to help and lend some humourous jabs, they’re your trusty navigator —and your worst critic.
- #DRIVE Design: It’s your way and the highway, baby! From tires to tailpipe, build your car to your liking. Add your special touches with paintwork, decals, and decorations. Take a picture in Photo Mode – it’ll last longer.
- #DRIVE Like it’s 1999: pumped up with 90’s Easter Eggs and references in an adoring homage to the thunderous days of rally racing circa 1990s, this game feels like a finely-tuned arcade experience, with no coins needed.
When?
Whilst PC (Steam) players will be able to get hands-on with #DRIVE Rally in Early Access later this year (expect the Fall), those on Xbox Series X|S, PS5 and Nintendo Switch will need to hold until 2025.
The trailer will keep you going for now.
