Yeah, quite the mash-up, but Pacific Drive looks very cool. The first game from Ironwood Studios is described as "a run-based first-person driving survival game" where you explore The Zone in a car, scavenging, crafting, and looking to escape the harsh Pacific Northwest.
It's coming to PlayStation 5 and PC in 2023.
As you explore the Zone, your car is your lifeline: scavenge resources to maintain and improve your car — as long as you keep it running, it will protect you from the surrounding dangers.
In 1955, the United States government seized a region of the Pacific Northwest by eminent domain. The Olympic Peninsula became the staging ground for promising new technologies, but these utopian creations came at great cost: severe radiation, environmental collapse, and supernatural horrors. The government walled off the area and established the Olympic Exclusion Zone. What happened inside was never disclosed.
Rumors and stories about the Zone run rampant, compelling you to go and explore its perimeter. Your plans go awry and you’re now stuck inside – you don’t know it yet, but the only way out is through. You find a barely running station wagon deep in the woods, miraculously unlocked and able to make the trip down the hill into the valley. Here you come across an abandoned auto shop which becomes your base of operations, where you safely repair and improve your car between runs. Do your best to survive, solve mysteries, and search for a way out — or become part of the ongoing legends of the Zone.
The rogue-lite or "road-lite" setup is definitely cool, especially for a driving game. And the trailer showcases some of the car upgrades you can make.
