Codemasters Reveals FUEL: Biggest Racing Environment Ever

Report

Codemasters, the UK based publishing team best known recently for DiRT, Race Driver: GRiD, and the upcoming multi-platform releases of Overlord, just announced a massive new racing title four years in development, which promises - get this - over 5,000 square miles of all terrain racing, reportedly the largest racing environment of any game to date.

From the Press Release:

FUEL will present players with an astonishing no-boundaries playfield that’s over 5,000 square miles (14,000+ km²) in size. Creating the ultimate competitive go-anywhere racing experience, FUEL will have players competing across wildly different terrain and executing spectacular death-defying stunts as they race dozens of varied two and four-wheeled rides and explore this epic world on an unprecedented scale.

FUEL is set in an alternate present in which whole swathes of the globe have been ravaged by the effects of climate change brought on by decades of environmental abuse. Here oil prices have rocketed and yet a new breed of racing junkie takes to the wastelands, pitting their grungy home-tuned vehicles against each other in an all-new extreme sport as they compete to win fuel supplies. To triumph means travelling the wastelands to challenge the best; from the tsunami-wrecked pacific coast through the Nevada wastelands, including the Grand Canyon, up treacherous snow-capped mountains, thick forests, arid deserts, abandoned lakeside resorts and much more.

Full scale weather effects, complete freedom, including some devastating looking tornadoes - this looks promising.

While there’s no approximate release date, the title is set for 2009 on the 360, PS3 and PC.
