News: A new 2.5D motorbike combat stunt game is heading your way in a few weeks on Xbox One, PS4, and PC.

Tate Multimedia has revealed that their new game, Steel Rats, will arriving on consoles and PC beginning next month. A visceral evolution of the 2.5D action-arcade genre, Steel Rats fuses destructive, octane-fueled motorbike combat and death-defying stunt gameplay, all set in a visually stylized, retro-future world. You will be able to switch between four unique and upgradeable characters as you wreak havoc and defend your city from an invading armada of junk robots.

Steel Rats is already doing well on the 2018 awards scene with eight nominations and one win for ‘Best Gameplay’ at the Game Connection Awards, a nomination for ‘Best Indie Game’ at the Digital Dragons Indie Showcase, and a win for ‘Best Gameplay’ at Pixel Heaven in Poland earlier this month. The game has been touring the convention circuit over the past year, having been at EGX Rezzed, PAX East, Pixel Heaven, Gamescom, PAX West and most recently Tokyo Game Show, sometimes even playable on a giant nine-foot-tall robot demo station.

At launch, the standard edition of Steel Rats will be priced at $19.99. There will also be a Deluxe Edition priced at $22.99 which, in addition to the main game, includes a PlayStation theme, five avatars, and the game’s soundtrack.
