Victory Heat Rally get some extra support as it races towards its 2022 release
Playtonic Friends, the publishing arm of Playtonic Games have announced that they are working with developer SkyDevilPalm, to bring Victory Heat Rally to PC and Switch players, think Chibi-Outrun and you are on the right (race)track, check out the trailer for the game below.
Victory Heat Rally is a turbocharged, high energy racing game with Neo-Superscalar aesthetics that combines the arcade thrills of Out Run with the memorable, distinct characters of Golden Axe or the Sonic series.
“As the saying goes ‘They don’t make ‘em like they used to’ and that’s what really drew us to create Victory Heat Rally” shares Ian Cid, Co-Game Designer at SkyDevilPalm “Arcade racers have fallen out of fashion over the last few years and we wanted to bring back the joy, the visual appeal and over all the satisfaction we used to feel playing titles like Sega Rally, Ridge Racer and Jet Moto 2”
Gavin Price, CEO of Playtonic Friends, added “We all remember that thrill of piecing together a perfect race in Out Run or After Burner, how you’d drop one more coin in the slot to reach the top of that leaderboard and Victory Heat Rally really captures that ‘just one more go, I can go faster’ desire from the arcades, that desire to want to beat your friend’s lap times”.
The game first appeared on Kickstarter where it got funded and then it popped up in an Indie World showcase from Nintendo, but has been quiet since then. The game is set to race to release in 2022, but there is no more specific timeframe beyond that.
