GRIP: Combat Racing is out now and includes free additional content
Wired Productions Ltd., a leading independent video game publisher, and developer Caged Element Inc. are excited to announce the global launch of GRIP: Combat Racing on PlayStation 4, the Xbox One family of devices, Nintendo Switch, and Steam for Windows PC.
Wired is calling on racers around the world to ensure that the game is on shelves “the right way up” by turning boxes upside down at retail. Prizes and rewards will be available via GRIP’s social media throughout launch week.
In celebration of today’s launch, and as a way of honouring the commitment to bring further tracks to the game free of charge, the first bonus track has already been released. The new course called SAAT Coast will challenge aspiring racers to employ super-human reflexes as they traverse a perilous jungle.
Using the current generation of gaming hardware, as well as taking adventage that comes from using the Unreal Engine 4, the game accelerates ahead of the racing crowd by offering players gravity-defying physics reaching speeds of over 767 mph. This makes GRIP: Combat Racing the fastest racing game on four wheels. Besides these amazing speeds and the action that comes with them, players can create lots of gaming memories, online and offline, and even with split-screens.
“Creating GRIP has taken us on a twisting, flipping, rollercoaster of a ride,” said Chris Mallinson, Game Director on GRIP: Combat Racing. “Going from prototype, through early access, and now an all-platforms launch, we’re incredibly grateful to all the people who have helped make our vision a reality. We look forward to bringing even more content to the game after launch, and excited to see how the game is received.”
Leo Zullo, Managing Director at Wired Productions, added: “What the team at Caged Element has created in GRIP is simply incredible. Working as a satellite studio, spread across the globe, their passion has driven them to create something a studio 10 times their size would be proud of. We’re delighted to see gamers finally get their hands on our biggest release to date.”
Robert Baker, Principal Programmer on GRIP: Combat Racing, said: “So many years on from Rollcage, it’s been an incredible honour working with my colleagues at Caged Element and the team at Wired Productions to create GRIP. I always wanted to make the genre faster and give huge credit to our team and many partners who have made this possible.”
The game is available for consoles for a price of £34.99 / €39.99 / $39.99. If you want a PC copy you’ll pay £24.99 / €29.99 / €29.99.
In addition to its digital release on Xbox One, GRIP: Combat Racing today simultaneously joins the Xbox Game Pass subscription service, bringing the title to Xbox players around the world.
