Highlights
Upcoming survival game Pacific Drive, releasing on PC and PS5, has been delayed to 2024.
The game strives to distinguish itself within the survival genre by offering a more somber perspective on the road trip subgenre.
Though fans may feel disappointed by the delay, there are numerous exciting PS5 titles to anticipate this year, such as Marvel's Spider-Man 2 and Baldur's Gate 3.
Ironwood Studios, the developer behind the highly anticipated survival game Pacific Drive, has officially announced a delay in its release date. The game, which is a console exclusive for PS5 (with a PC release also planned), is expected to offer innovative ideas that will rival even the best survival games in the industry. This news may disappoint fans who were eagerly awaiting the game, as they will now have to wait until 2024 to experience it.
Announced last year by the Seattle-based Ironwood Studios, Pacific Drive gained significant attention due to its unique premise. The studio boasts a talented team of veteran developers who have previously worked on acclaimed franchises like Call of Duty and The Legend of Zelda.
Ironwood Studios has made the decision to postpone the release of Pacific Drive. Their official statement cites the need to further refine the game and prioritize the well-being of the development team, avoiding excessive stress. The new release date is set for "Early 2024," indicating a launch in the first half of next year. Additionally, the team has exciting news for fans, as a new trailer for Pacific Drive will be unveiled at the upcoming Future Games Show.
The creators of Pacific Drive are determined to set their upcoming title apart from the intense competition in the survival genre by presenting a darker interpretation of the road trip subgenre. In this game, survival mechanics will revolve around salvaging parts to repair and upgrade the car, which serves as the primary means of exploring a peculiar and twisted world within the Olympic Exclusion zone. This approach aims to strike a satisfying balance between exploration and the traditional survival loop of resource gathering.
Although Pacific Drive won't be available this year, there will be plenty of games releasing for PS5 in 2023. The standout release of the year is undoubtedly Marvel's Spider-Man 2, the highly anticipated sequel to the critically acclaimed PS5 exclusive featuring the beloved Marvel superhero. Additionally, Baldur's Gate 3, which enjoyed a massive launch on PC, along with other titles like Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon, Mortal Kombat 1, and Alan Wake 2, assure gamers that they will have a plethora of PS5 titles to enjoy by the end of the year.
As for Pacific Drive, it is set to be released for both PC and PS5 in 2024.
