Liftoff: Drone Racing is a simulation game that translates the rush of fast-paced first-person view drone air racing to the digital world.

In Liftoff: Drone Racing, console players will experience the exciting and fast-paced world of the drone racing sport. This of course also includes competing against other FPV pilots in nerve-wracking races.

A good drone pilot knows not only how to fly properly but is also aware of the importance of proper preparations. From countless original licensed frames as well as individual parts the quadcopters can be customized to fit the individual needs of their pilot. When it comes to races, this customization will also help players to squeeze even the last, perhaps decisive, bit of efficiency out of the little machines.

The game will also offer different game modes for experienced pilots as well as newbies which will help them to improve their piloting skills at their own pace. Liftoff: Drone Racing will offer a dedicated "assisted flight" feature that will make drone racing easily accessible to every player on consoles.

astragon Entertainment and LuGus Studios revealed the involvement of two famous brands from the world of drone racing in the upcoming game. There will be of course many more officially licensed drone parts included in Liftoff: Drone Racing that will offer you a wide range of customization options.

In order to become the fastest pilot, good preparation is needed. Thanks to the workbench feature of Liftoff: Drone Racing you will be able to fall back on a wide range of different parts for your individual racing drone. On this workbench, you will have the option to build and customize your own drones with over 100 different drone parts such as frames, batteries, motors, props, cameras, and antennas officially licensed by more than 13 original brands such as Rotor Riot and Armattan.

The approach of Liftoff: Drone Racing is to offer a maximum of realistic and authentic simulated drone physics. Every drone part changes the control of the quadcopter and has a direct effect on its flight behavior. Every frame has its own stats like different weight, size, and type. Other parts are of course just as important, such as the battery. Here the pilot’s choice might come down to weight versus battery life. It will be up to you to decide which setting will be the best for your individual flight style

Some good news for all who are eager to secure their copy of the upcoming drone racing simulator.
