Bsimracing Sim Racing Resources and News for the racing enthousiast.
Back in June, during a track day at the British Silverstone circuit developer Straight4 announced that its upcoming GTRevival racing game would reveal a new name for the title, and more importantly, that they would replace the German-Austrian Plaion publisher, formerly Koch Media, with a new, yet-to-be-named publisher.
We already knew the new title name was going to be Project Motor Racing, and now Straight4 has also revealed that they partnered with GIANTS Software as a new publisher and that the game will be powered by the GIANTS game engine, wich is also used to power the mega-popular Farming Simulator series.
Furthermore, Straight4 revealed that the title is scheduled to become available in 2025.
Boris Stefan, CSO & Head of Publishing at GIANTS Software said, When we committed to self-publishing Farming Simulator in 2021, we made no secret that we were on the lookout for external titles that slotted into our vision. In Straight4 Studios, we found the ideal candidate: a studio that, like us, want to create world-class simulation, and a new project from a high-profile studio to enrich our publishing portfolio.
Straight4 and GIANTS both share deep simulation roots and high production values, said Kevin Boland, CDO at Straight4. Competing in the specialized and technically challenging sim racing arena with Project Motor Racing is a testament to the versatility of the GIANTS Engine. We’re sure both Farming Simulator fans and sim racers will come out as winners from this partnership.
Ian Bell, CEO at Straight4 Studios, noted: Developing a new generation of sim racing games requires that we solve some hard questions. Foremost is how to align our state-of-the-art physics engine alongside the graphic fidelity that our fans demand from us. In the GIANTS Engine, we have found the solution: a game engine that allows us to build a beautiful simulator while ensuring framerates do not suffer as a result.
The press release was accompanied by a few pre-alpha screenshots taken in the new game engine showcasing the Lister Storm at the Lime Rock Park track.
