Redout Ports to Nintendo Switch
SANTA ANA, Calif., January 13, in the year of our
Lord 2017—Get your eye drops ready! Nicalis today
announces the white-knuckle racing intensity of Redout is coming
to Nintendo Switch in Spring 2017 at retail and digitally via
the Nintendo eShop.
Using Epic’s Unreal graphics engine and razor-sharp control
mechanics, Redout is one of the most intense game experiences in
the Nintendo Switch launch line-up. Whether you play it on the
go or on an 80” HDTV, Redout delivers a new entry into the
pantheon of classic anti-grav formula racing games. “You’re
gonna leave this game with your eyes dry, because you can’t
blink,” promises lead game designer Giuseppe Franchi of
34BigThings.
Redout is set in the year 2560, after the construction of
elaborate magnetic race tracks has transformed the barren
wasteland of Earth into the epicenter of the galaxy’s most
popular sport. Redout’s next-gen visual effects and highly
optimized environments give players a mainline dose of sensory
overload without sacrificing ultra-high-speed rendering and long
draw distances.
Fans of futuristic racing games from the late ’90s will love the
dynamic vehicle designs and evocative course environments. The
architecture and terrain are based on fantastic visions—imagined
500+ years hence—of real-world locations like Cairo, Alaska and
the gorgeous Italian region of Abruzzo.
The game’s finely tuned controls are the result of two years of
development, planning, implementation and testing. Redout’s
driving scheme uses the right Joy-Con analog stick to pitch the
vehicle forward (on downhill slopes) and backward (on inclines)
in order to decrease friction and increase speed. The right
stick is also used to drift around curves, giving an
unprecedented degree of precision control. Minimum frustration,
maximum velocity, ultimate racing!
Developed by 34BigThings (pronounced like “three four big
things”) and published by Nicalis, Redout will release on
Nintendo Switch in Spring 2017 at retail and digitally via the
Nintendo eShop. Pricing info and release date to be announced at
a later time.
