Created by the team behind Art of Rally, over the hill focuses on exploration rather than competition. Players can venture into a vast wilderness alone or team up with up to three friends for a relaxed off-road adventure. The game features vehicles inspired by classic 4×4 overlanders from the 1960s through the 1980s, while its environments draw inspiration from real-world locations.
Players will travel through forests, mountains, lakesides, and other scenic areas while discovering remote cabins, viewpoints, natural landmarks, meteorites, and mysterious portals. Dynamic weather and day-and-night cycles will also change the look and feel of each journey.
The game also encourages players to stop and enjoy the scenery. Wildlife can be photographed for an in-game compendium, while vehicle upgrades, equipment, colours, accessories, and cosmetics allow players to personalize their rides.
With its focus on exploration, friendship, and taking things at your own pace, over the hill looks set to offer a refreshing change of pace when it launches this October.
