Arena-based vehicle sports coming to PSN

Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars is scheduled for release early this autumn.

Psyonix Studios has announced the autumn 2008 release of Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars, a new PSN title that blends vehicle-based arena online gamplay with sports.

The game is described as a soccer-inspired game featuring vehicles with high manoeuvrability including boosters for launching high into the air or accelerating at break-neck speeds on the ground. Once in the air vehicles can roll, flip, jump, dodge and spin.

The social aspect of the game will also be pushed through team and league play, plus extensive statistical tracking, rankings and rewards. In addition to the primary soccer-based mode, a host of mini-games, YouTube video uploading and Trophy support will be included.

"It takes a pretty special game to carry such a lengthy title and be able to hold its head high amongst games with much shorter names," commented Dave Hagewood, Director of Development at Psyonix Studios. "Thankfully, we don't have to worry about fitting this title on a package."
