I’m going to be 100% honest here, I had no interest in Gravel. But, as my nickname for my entire life has been Gravel I figured this was the game that I needed to check out. And I am glad I did. Releasing for PC, PS4, and Xbox, Gravel is a stunning offroad racer created by Milestone S.R.L that seems to revel in getting dirty. Releasing on the 27th of February, you won’t have to wait long to get your hands on the game. This one has flown under the radar for a while, but from the videos, it looks absolutely stunning. I grew up playing Off-Road in the arcades, and this seems to be a callback to that type of game. Not just due to the fact that it is an off-road racer, but because it is almost recreating the famous track from that legend of a game from the looks of it. The racing genre is growing, and with games like Gran Turismo and Forza Motorsports skewing more towards an on-road experience, it is about time we get something that takes the idea of Dirt and turns it up to 11.
We do understand we are giving you very short notice to tune in to the stream itself, but if you miss it, check out their Facebook page and you will likely get to watch it all you want. In addition, a season pass has been announced for the game which gives me some hope that this is a title that is going to get plenty of support. The game will launch with a career mode, which has you working your way up the ranking on the Off-Road Master’s TV Show. You’ll unlock new cars, new skills, and new episodes as you travel through the story. The game is picking up steam and looks to be something that could be incredible. We will try to get a review to you soon and let you know what we think. Either way, they were smart to use my nickname as the title. I’m sure that’s where they got the idea.
Check out the Trailer above, and go to their official Facebook Page (linked in the above paragraph) to catch their Facebook Livestream of the game at 17:00 GMT (Noon EST, 11 AM Central)
