Codemasters, the development team behind such luminary racing series as DiRT, GRID and Formula 1, announced ONRUSH today, continuing their practice of using all capital letters in game titles.
ONRUSH is an action/arcade style racer, with players performing tricks and taking risks in order to build up their “RUSH bar”. It is unclear what happens when a player unleashes the power of the “RUSH bar”, but Codemasters promises that the effect will “produce an exhilarating and devastating force which, when used at the right time, can wreak havoc on your competition”.
The trailer certainly looks like a lot of fun, with racers in a variety of vehicles ramming each other into oblivion with metal crunching take-downs and spectacular pile-ups.
For those of us who have been missing the mayhem delivered by the Burnout series, ONRUSH looks to be an injection of “RUSH bar” powered adrenaline. The trailer is certainly more cheerful than some of the others dropped today. If, you know, you consider car crashes to be "cheerful".
ONRUSH is scheduled to launch on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in Summer 2018.
