Developed by Ironwood Studios, Pacific Drive is ready within the Pacific Northwest, and has you and your trusty previous automotive—they name the sport a “road-like”, very cute—driving round some type of bizarre alien/anomaly-filled panorama. It’s described by its creators as a “run-based, first-person driving survival game”, which suggests you’ll principally be spending plenty of the sport driving frantically in your life, as you’ll be able to see within the trailer beneath:

Alex Dracott, Founder & Creative Director of Ironwood Studios, says as a part of the sport’s announcement:

We love bizarre science, tales from street journey adventures, and we’ve at all times been intrigued by the darkish and mysterious worlds from video games like S.T.A.L.Ok.E.R. or books like Annihilation. In Pacific Drive, we’ve been capable of convey these passions collectively by creating an journey that can take you deep into the guts of the Pacific Northwest driving in an historical station wagon that, over time, can develop into your individual considerably modified 80’s sci-fi machine to improve, discover, and threat the risks of the Zone with. The crew at Ironwood has been working passionately to make that concept a actuality. After three years of labor, we couldn’t presumably be extra excited to share Pacific Drive, and we’re thrilled to be working with PlayStation to take action.

While the crew are “working with PlayStation” on the sport, with Pacific Drive due on PS5 subsequent 12 months, there’ll even be a PC model launched across the identical time.
