SQUARE ENIX COLLECTIVE® ENTERS THE CHARMING WORLD OF MOTORSPORT WITH CIRCUIT SUPERSTARS
Square
Enix Collective is excited to announce the next game in our line-up as Circuit Superstars, a
unique racing game experience set to launch in 2020 on Xbox One®,
PlayStation®4, Nintendo Switch™ and PC.
Circuit Superstars
combines arcade-style racing with a more realistic driving model that enables
new players to jump in and race, but sets a high skill ceiling for serious
players looking to set the fastest laps possible. It will feature a range of
on- and off-road racing categories – from rally, GT, classic cars and even
trucks – all in a unique and gorgeous visual style.
Original Fire Games is a six-person team, originally started by three siblings
from Mexico (Carolina, Carlos and Alberto Mastretta). Together they have a
combined total of 14 years in game development, as well as more than 15
accumulated years of real motor racing experience – and it’s this experience
they’ve drawn from to make an accessible game with a realistic edge.
“Over the last three decades we have seen a fascinating evolution of racing
games,” says Carolina Mastretta, Director & Producer at Original Fire
Games. “And these days, we can drive almost any type of car on amazing recreations
of the best tracks in the world. However, we believe it’s time to try something
different, and we want to do this by reviving a style that pioneered the racing
genre decades ago.”
Phil Elliott, Director of Indie Publishing at Square Enix (and avid racing fan)
is excited to be bringing Original Fire’s debut game onboard. “Here at Square
Enix Collective, we’ve been hoping to find a great racing game for some time –
and we’re so happy to be working on Circuit
Superstars. It’s one of those rare games that has charm and style,
but also an edge to the handling that makes you strive to get better with each
lap you drive.”
We will have more information about Circuit
Superstars soon.
