If you’ve grown tired of hardcore racing simulators and arcade/sim hybrids, then Codemasters and Koch Media’s new trailer has you covered. The video showcases breakneck speed boosts, crashes, spins, large gaps, and stunts set to the tune of aggressive rock music. ONRUSH is set to release June 5th, 2018 exclusively on Playstation 4 and Xbox One–An anomaly considering Codemasters’ history with PC gaming.
ONRUSH is built around speed with its central RUSH mechanic; a meter that enables a significant speed and power boost when filled up. All this is done in the name of chaos and destruction. ONRUSH contains eight vehicle classes, each with their own advantages and disadvantages including variable abilities along with a different RUSH state.
For the interested, the ONRUSH Deluxe Edition eight contains extra vehicle designs, extra Crashtag artwork, and two Track Tombstones. Exclusive beta access this May is tied to pre-orders of the Playstation 4 version. The title is in development by the Chesire, UK based “new” Codemasters team filled out by former Evolution Studios members. Founded in 1986, Codemasters developed all manner of games across several genres ranging from action to racing titles. The team got its start in the industry by developing exclusively for the classic PC gaming platforms such as the Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum. The Codemasters of today is best known for racing franchises GRID, Dirt, and F1.
