Sony Interactive Entertainment Immersion Technology has announced that DriveClub VR is currently in development and will be released later this year.
Previously confirmed as a Japanese PS VR launch game, DriveClub VR has been in development for over a year now and aims to provide gamers with the ‘most immersive DriveClub experience possible.’
While it’s not yet known if the game will be a separate release or an add-on for the existing version of DriveClub, Sony did at least give us an idea of what to expect from the game.
Get the full lowdown on DriveClub VR below.
- Game modes: Online virtual reality multiplayer race modes and an action-packed single player career are joined by drifting and time trial challenges.
- Tracks: New and classic Driveclub tracks are brought to life through the power of PlayStation VR, including five all-new Urban locations.
- A closer look: More than 80 cars are recreated with immaculate detail for players to explore up close with Inspection Mode.
- Cruise control: A little time to kick back, open the throttle or just coast and explore any track, in any country at your leisure in Cruise Mode.
- Virtual passenger: An immersive thrill ride through exciting replays of hot laps as players watch themselves handle their greatest challenges from a unique viewpoint in Passenger Mode.
The original version of DriveClub was released exclusively for the PlayStation 4 in 2014, and was developed by Evolution Studios, the creators behind the MotorStorm franchise. Sadly, the company was shuttered by Sony earlier this year, although it wasn’t long before the staff were snapped up by Codemasters.
