News: A new open-world game is heading your way with hoverboards, physics-based gameplay, and more.

Italian independent developer Caracal Games and publisher Dear Villagers has announced that Star Overdrive, a high speed action open-world game, is coming to Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC a little later this year after it received a great reception on the Nintendo Switch.

Pre-orders for PC, PlayStation and Xbox platforms are already available, and players can choose between the standard edition at 34.99 USD and the Deluxe Edition at 39.99 USD which includes three styles, one design and fifty dyes for the Hoverboard, as well as the digital Original Soundtrack and the digital Manga written and drawn by the Caracal Games team, narrating a prequel story to the Star Overdrive main story.

Alongside working on porting the game on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles, the Caracal Games team is hard at work on integrating player’s feedback in future patches for the Nintendo Switch version as soon as possible and implementing them in the other versions as well ahead of their release date.

Key Features:

Hoverboard Navigation and Racing: Speed through vast landscapes, perform incredible tricks, and gain the edge in intense combat.

Emergent Physics-Based Gameplay: Unleash and combine powers to battle enemies, bend the laws of physics, and solve intricate puzzles.

Mysterious and Diverse Alien World: Journey through four uniquely distinct biomes, each brimming with challenges and secrets to uncover.

Epic Battles Against Creatures of All Sizes: Engage with unique creatures, from small-scale rivals to towering bosses, each requiring strategy and skill to overcome.
