'Horizon Chase Turbo' (ALL) Will Come To North American Retail This Spring

Horizon Chase Turbo is a homage to classic 16-bit racers that defined a generation of high-speed, frenetic arcade fun.

Horizon Chase Turbo is a pedal-to-the-metal arcade racer inspired by the trailblazing 90s-era classics.

Horizon Chase Turbo delivers neck-break speed, original gameplay, tight controls, new features and content designed specifically to highlight the nostalgic feel of classic racers on next-generation technology. The game marks a resurgence of couch co-op, where up to four players can compete in multiplayer campaigns, intense tournaments and endurance trials as they race around the globe.

PM Studios and acttil are partnering with Brazilian developer AQUIRIS to bring the arcade-style racer Horizon Chase Turbo to North American store shelves for both Nintendo Switch and PS4 this Spring.

“We created Horizon Chase Turbo to be the racing game we wanted to play, hitting the sweet spot between true-to-life simulators and chaotic, explosive kart racers,” said Aquiris Studio Game Designer, Felipe Dal Molin. “With Horizon Chase Turbo, we want players to feel the nostalgic tension of the simple tug-of-war of a tight turn; where players are run off-road for a split second only to return to intense high-speed action as they overtake and battle against friends playing together on the couch or via the online ghost mode.”

Although there’s a deep and extensive single-player mode, Horizon Chase Turbo uses split-screen multiplayer modes to create a magical local multiplayer experience.

Aside from the modernly retro graphics, the split-screen couch multiplayer modes are among Turbo’s most defining features. All game modes, including the World Tour campaign, tournament and endurance challenges support local split screen multiplayer up to four players. Racers can compete in head-to-head races one at a time, or spend hours racing around the globe collecting coins to achieve the common goal of unlocking exotic vehicles and spinetingling tracks.

Key Features:

  • Couch Multiplayer is Back – Sit down with family and friends for a night of adrenaline-pumping split-screen action!
  • Lets you bring in up to 4 players to share a single screen, in any game mode! But be careful – out on the track, a friend can become an enemy in a flash!
  • Select Your Style – Whether playing alone or with friends, you can travel the globe in World Tour mode, jump straight into intense driving action in Tournament mode, do your best to survive the harrowing test of Endurance mode, or go up against the ever-changing challenges of the all-new Playground mode!
  • Always a New Challenge – The brand-new Playground mode serves up an ever-changing selection of races – time attacks, mirrored tracks, infinite nitro challenges, and even severe weather danger await for you! Compete against the best times of fellow racers and aim for the online leaderboard top 50! And who knows what the next season might bring...?
  • 16-Bit Reinvented – Horizon Chase Turbo has a retro soul reincarnated in a stylish modern body. Take control of over 30 nitro-burning speedsters and experience dazzling sunsets, pounding rain, raging blizzards, blinding sandstorms, and even deadly volcanic eruptions!
  • A Legendary Composer – Industry icon Barry Leitch is responsible for dozens of classic game soundtracks, including Lotus Turbo Challenge, Top Gear, and the Rush series. And now he’s returned to grace us with another heart-stopping set of arpeggios to get your blood pumping!

Currently available on Switch, PS4, Xbox One and PC as digital download, Horizon Chase Turbo will be coming to North American store shelves for both Nintendo Switch and PS4 this Spring.
