Indie dev Vector Unit made a surprise announcement today that Riptide GP: Renegade is coming this Spring to PS4, Xbox One and PC. In Riptide GP: Renegade, players race rocket-powered watercraft through futuristic environments while pulling off crazy mid-air stunts and boosting their way to the front of the pack. Complete the challenging single player Career mode, or compete against other players online or in split screen local multiplayer.
Matt Small, the Creative Director on the game, and Co-Founder of Vector Unit notes that the newest in the Riptide series has been rebuilt from the ground up specifically for current gen consoles. No strangers to the water racing genre they kept what worked for previous entries, but completely retuned the mechanics and the graphics engine so it looks and plays better than ever.
Riptide GP: Renegade is a next-gen water racer where armored riders kick out death-defying stunts over massive waterfalls, outrun cops, and boost at breakneck speeds across surging waves. Evade police boats and drones while blasting through vast interactive race environments packed with interactive elements, secret shortcuts, and animated obstacles. Battle your way through a variety of race types and boss fights to reach the top of the underground hydro jet racing circuit. Earn XP and cash to upgrade and customize your hydro jet, unlock new stunts, and increase your rider’s performance. Compete online against the best players around the world – or against your pals in split screen local multiplayer matches (with a mix of human and AI racers) and collect and upgrade a garage full of blistering fast hydro jets that transform while you ride them, all while enjoying it on 1080p / 60fps.
