The high-speed anti-gravity racing game, Redout, by 34BigThings is finally on its way to Xbox One and PlayStation 4 consoles. Published by 505 Games, the new console exclusive Redout: Lightspeed Edition ships with a split-screen mode, as well as all the DLC content already available on the PC version.
The game originally launched on PC in September last year, garnering largely positive reviews, and even features complete VR support. Although it is possible the game will arrive on PlayStation VR as well, the developer is yet to announce such a possibility.
The two DLC packs that are included in the Lightspeed Edition, Europa and Neptune, means players will receive 30 tracks in total to race on, which are set in six distinct dystopian Earth-styled environments. Console edition players will also receive exclusive, platform-specific skins for their racing ships.
The game"s new trailer featuring its high-speed antics accompanied by a smooth soundtrack is seen above, and the full feature list provided by the publisher is as follows:
- Multiplayer: Challenge up to 6 players from around the globe, or a friend – head-to-head – in the brand new split screen mode, to find out who the best Redout pilot is.
- Career mode: Carve out your path to glory with more than 100 different racing events, varying experience, and an array of challenging levels.
- Upgradable Ships: Invest in improving your Engine, Magnets, Structure and Energy to get your ship track-ready.
- See the world: Put the pedal to the metal on 30 different tracks scattered around 6 locations on a post-apocalyptic Earth. Push the envelope on additional boss circuits to see what you are made of.
- 11 Event Types: Test your skills in 11 different events: Race, Pure Race, Time Attack, Pure Time Attack, Speed, Instagib, Survival, Score Based Endurance, Last Man Standing, Boss and Arena Race.
- Team up: Drivers will have their pick of 7 different racing teams with each team requiring a different driving approach and 4 increasingly fast racing classes to see if you make the cut.
- Power ups: To get that competitive edge, you have the option of 12 upgradable power-ups: Additional turbo, shields, self-repair drone, advanced grip system, slipstream enhancers, and more.
