The craft are in position, the pilots are ready - developer R8 Games is excited to announce an evolution of Formula Fusion, its Early Access vision for futuristic anti-gravity combat racing, reflected in today’s unveiling of a fresh new brand for the project to complement new features, game modes and more.

Moving forward, Formula Fusion will now be known as ‘Pacer’ - a moniker designed to reflect the sheer speed conveyed by its 4K-enabled, 60 frames-per-second gameplay, and one that celebrates its ambitious efforts to bring the anti-gravity racing genre still rooted in its retro past hurtling into the 21st century.

Pacer will bring 14 different tracks and five customisable craft to the table, building upon R8 Games’ goal of both recapturing and expanding upon the spirit of the anti-gravity racers that made their mark in the 1990s. Likewise, play will also feature a stellar soundtrack that will immerse the player in both original and licensed tracks from CoLD SToRAGE, Dub FX and many more.

As the development of Pacer, the anti-grav combat racer, continues to ramp up, developer R8 Games is excited to reveal yet another brand-new track that’ll be ready for launch, running at a smooth 60fps on all platforms.

The “Ajura” circuit brings a new feel to Pacer, transporting the race down under as the track flies through tunnels carved into the country’s beautiful but harsh canyons. It’s a rollercoaster-like experience that offers a distinctly unique vibe when compared to the game’s 13 other tracks.

Running at 60fps across all formats and in native 4K on PC, PS4 Pro and Xbox One X, Ajura will be playable in both day and night, as well as in reverse and mirror modes, meaning this track alone offers a total of eight different versions to play, straight out of the gate.

If you’re eager to take on Ajura for yourself - alongside other previously revealed tracks, R8 Games will be offering the latest build of Pacer to North American media for hands-on play coinciding with physical demos at EGX London, taking place in London’s ExCeL exhibition center between 17th-20th October.
