Pacific Drive announced for PS5 and PC

As part of State of Play Sony have announced a brand new game, Pacific Drive, for PlayStation 5. The game will also be launching on PC.

Pacific Drive is a run-based, first-person driving survival game. Your car is your only companion as you navigate a surreal and anomaly-filled reimagining of the Pacific Northwest. Structured as a “road-like”, each excursion into the wilderness brings unique and strange challenges, as you restore and upgrade your car from an abandoned garage that acts as your home base. With the car as your lifeline, you’ll unravel a long-forgotten mystery as you make your way to the heart of the Olympic Exclusion Zone.

Here are those ever so important key features:

• First person run based driving survival gameplay
• Form a unique bond with a fully customizable car that develops its own quirks and personality
• Tense driving from behind the wheel, with moments of vulnerability when you step out to gather resources and make repairs
• From your upgradeable garage, each repeatable trip into the Zone is unique and randomized
• Systems driven gameplay that allows for player freedom, creativity, and experimentation
• Unravel a long-forgotten mystery of the Olympic Exclusion Zone as you explore a surreal and anomaly filled version of the Pacific Northwest
•  Original score by Wilbert Roget, II and featuring 15+ licensed songs

The game is being created by Ironwood Studios who were formed in 2019 and this is their first game.  “The team’s passion stems from a love of road trips and the relationship between the driver and the car, always dreaming about surreal worlds and the Pacific Northwest – two things that feature prominently in the game,” explains the press release. “Ironwood’s goal is to create games that inspire players to tell their own stories, with systems that work together to create unexpected and unique experiences.”
