Gameplay

The game is a

split screen multiplayer modes,[5] including the computer-based ones, which is more of a rarity for the platform.[6] The proposed Wii U version would have also featured the ability for multiplayer sessions to take place with one player on the television and the other using just the Wii U GamePad screen.[7]

Development

In 2009, Ian Fisch, a long time fan of the

Split/Second and Blur, he believed there would be no appetite for such game from an established publisher, so began working on his own take on the game.[8]

The game was first announced April 2013, alongside a

The Penny Arcade Report. In it, he blamed the timing of the campaign launch and general crowdfunding fatigue.[11]

Developed

Steam Early Access in September 2014,[12] the game missed its 2014 release date, and a lack of further updates in 2015 lead to fears of the game being cancelled.[7] An update in April 2016 clarified that development was still proceeding, with a Q3 2016 release date planned for Microsoft Windows, macOS and Linux. PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Wii U versions are planned for sometime afterwards.[7] Initial 2016 updates did not mention the Wii U as a platform, again causing speculation towards cancellation of that particular version, but DarkSeas Games clarified that the Wii U version was still planned, but was relegated to a release window after the PS4 and Xbox One versions, citing extra work that would have to be done to get the game running on the less-powerful Wii U.[9] In May 2018, DarkSeas Game announced they had shifted development to a Nintendo Switch release.[13]

After the game's release, DarkSeas Game's also intends on making the game

playable character.[14]
