Grip has been available in Steam Early Access for quite some time, and the title will finally leave the program relatively soon, as the game will finally launch on PC and consoles later this year. There's a chance you've heard or played
Rollcage, the arcade racing game that launched in 1999 on the first PlayStation and PC, quickly capturing players' imagination and becoming a cult classic.
Grip tries to live up to
Rollcage with crazy and complicated maps, split-screen, competitive multiplayer, several power-ups, advanced customization options, and, most importantly, truly furious speeds. The racing game will also allow you to customize your vehicle, utilize devastating weapons and exploit a destructible environment to ensure not only victory, but the complete annihilation of your opponents.
Steam's 1.2.5 version of
Grip features 8 vehicles, 6 Game modes: Classic Race, Elimination, Ultimate Race, Time Trial, Arena (Deathmatch) & Carkour (similar to scramble mode in RCS2), 10 Racetracks, 3 Arenas, 15 Carkour courses, 5 Weapons (Scorpion, Raptor, Ironfist, Hydra, Assassin), 4 Power-ups (Aegis, Firestorm, EMP, Ramraider), 2 Vehicle abilities (Launch, Boost), and 12 Ingame music tracks (including trance and techno). The game's latest trailer reveals
Grip will be available on PS4 this fall.
Inspired by the Rollcage games of 1999 and 2000, GRIP is a new IP for a new generation. A return to the hardcore combat racer, bristling with heavy weapons and packing ferocious speed, the game is an intense, sensory feast. Harnessing the awesome potential of Unreal Engine 4, GRIP will take you back to your nostalgic past, while simultaneously propelling you into a kick-ass future.
GRIP is coming to Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch & PC.
