Developer Ironwood Studios announced run-based first-person driving survival game Pacific Drive, launching on PlayStation 5 in 2023. Termed a “road-lite” game, Pacific Drive will task players with surviving and traversing through the Olympic Exclusion Zone, which requires scavenging for resources to maintain and improve your car. As long as you can keep the car running, you keep surviving. Ironwood Studios offered further details in a new post on the PlayStation Blog, which you can read in part below, or check out the trailer from State of Play below as well.
"Structured as a “road-lite”, each trip from your garage into the Zone is full of strange anomalies and technologies, and plenty of radiation. If you keep your car in good shape, you’ll be safe to explore, scavenge for resources, and drive further into distinct biomes that offer more valuable rewards. The land shifts with every passing storm, making each journey a unique experience. Discovering new resources will allow you to outfit your vehicle with defenses, trick out your garage, and find more dangerous routes that bring you deeper and deeper into the Zone.
