Feral Interactive today announced that the red hot racing game GRID 2™ Reloaded Edition will be unleashed on the Mac September 25th. Developed and published by Codemasters for PC and consoles, GRID 2 Reloaded Edition is the keenly anticipated successor to the acclaimed GRID, previously released on the Mac by Feral. When released, the game will be available for download from a variety of digital partner sites worldwide including the Feral Store, Steam and the Mac App Store.
GRID 2 Reloaded Edition features ‘World Series Racing’, a disruptive new racing league with big ambitions. Players are challenged to become WSR’s star driver and build it into a top motorsport by facing off against rivals in a selection of electrifying competitions. Nerve-jangling duels on mountain roads, drift events through the city streets of Paris, Miami and Hong Kong and high-speed races on renowned GP circuits are all part of the competition.
GRID 2 Reloaded Edition contains all the additional content previously released for GRID 2, including over 20 additional cars by manufacturers such as Aston Martin, BMW and McLaren.
The Steam version of GRID 2 Reloaded Edition supports cross-platform online multiplayer modes, including ‘Rivals’, which matches up drivers based on skill, and a stand-alone career mode where XP and in-game cash can be traded for new rides. All versions of the game will include head-to-head split-screen racing and support a wide range of third-party gamepads and driving wheels.
“GRID 2 Reloaded Edition hits the sweet spot between realism and arcade racing ,” said David Stephen, Managing Director of Feral Interactive. “It does a fantastic job of capturing the real-world feel of each car while giving players the sense that they can master any machine.”
