House Entertainment (who provided music and audio design for Horizon Shift) The excitement of playing arcade games in the early 90’s is burned into our memories and we want to bring that excitement back with Racing Apex. The Racing Apex core team consists of two developers who have worked on Burnout Legends, Burnout Paradise, Midnight club LA Remix and many more. This experience making racing games is being utilised in Racing Apex, to add modern gameplay elements to the classic solid polygon art style.
Availability:
If funded, Racing Apex will be released on Windows, Mac and Linux in early 2017.
Closed Alpha, Beta and Early Access are planned for late 2016.
