Pacific Driveannounced earlier todayis the rare game you watch and Say, um, I don’t think I’ve ever done that quite seen something like this before.
Developed by Ironwood Studios, Pacific Drive is set in the Pacific Northwest and has you and your trusty old car – they call the game a “street-like”, very cute—Drive through a strange alien/anomalous landscape. It is described by its creators as “walk-based first-person survival game” meaning that you’ll basically spend much of the game frantically driving for your life, as you can see in the trailer below:
Alex Dracott, Founder and Creative Director of Ironwood Studios says as part of the game’s announcement:
We love weird science, stories of road trip adventures and we’ve always been fascinated by the dark and mysterious worlds from games like STALKER or books like Annihilation. In Pacific Drive, we’ve been able to bring these passions together by creating an adventure that takes you deep into the heart of the Pacific Northwest as you ride in a vintage station wagon that, over time, has become your own heavily modified 80’s vintage car. can become a scientist. Fi machine to upgrade, explore and risk the dangers of the zone. The Ironwood team worked passionately to make this idea a reality. After three years of work, we couldn’t be more excited to share Pacific Drive and we’re thrilled to be working on it with PlayStation.
While the “with PlayStation” team is working on the game, with Pacific Drive coming to PS5 next year, with a PC version releasing around the same time.
