From Press Release:
Australian indie studio Exbleative (creators of Exo One) have launched the first demo today, for brutally realistic racing simulation, Exo Rally Championship. This release also comes with a brand new trailer.
About the game:
Exo Rally Championship is the galaxy’s most dangerous off-road racing event. Welcome to the final frontier of racing – remote, unexplored, extreme exoplanetary rally.
Take the wheel of advanced RCS thruster-enhanced rovers and master a brutally realistic racing simulation. Conquer unforgiving and inhospitable alien landscapes, speeding between waypoints on procedurally generated stages filled with hardware-breaking weather and terrain challenges. Dive into a career mode inspired by Earth’s legendary rally events, and customize, tune, and repair your rover to optimize performance in the face of diverse environments. Push the boundaries of speed and control as you tackle the most intense off-road rallying event in the galaxy.
Embark on a journey from the underdog to the champion, rising through the ranks and competing against the best teams for the ultimate Exo Rally Championship title.
Exo Rally Championship is slated to launch on Steam in 2025.
“After making Exo One I really wanted to explore traversal on other worlds from a totally different angle.” said Jay Weston, creator of Exo Rally. “Exoplanetary rally brings together all the elements of an exoplanet and challenges you to face them head on – its gravity, terrain, weather, atmosphere, and endless hazards. Every aspect of the planet is materially affecting your rover and your time, pushing you dangerously close to the limit.”
