'Pacific Drive' Is A First-person Driving Survival Game Coming To PS5 And PC In 2023 - Screens & Trailer

Pacific Drive is a run-based, first-person driving survival game set in the pacific northwest region of the United States.

As a true road-like, your car is your only companion.

Based out of an abandoned garage, you’ll be repairing, upgrading, and outfitting it to stay safe from all the dangers that surround you each excursion into the Zone.

Together, the two of you will drive deep into the surreal woods of the Pacific Northwest, chase long forgotten mysteries, and encounter strange and dangerous anomalies all as you make your way to the heart of the Olympic Exclusion Zone.


“We love weird science, stories from road trip adventures, and we've always been intrigued by the dark and mysterious worlds from games like S.T.A.L.K.E.R. or books like Annihilation. In Pacific Drive, we've been able to bring these passions together by creating an adventure that will take you deep into the heart of the Pacific Northwest riding in an ancient station wagon that, over time, can become your own substantially modified 80's sci-fi machine to upgrade, explore, and risk the dangers of the Zone with.” said Alex Dracott, Founder & Creative Director at Ironwood Studios. “The team at Ironwood has been working passionately to make that idea a reality. After three years of work, we couldn't possibly be more excited to share Pacific Drive, and we're thrilled to be working with PlayStation to do so.”

Ironwood Studios was formed in 2019 and collects industry talent from studios like Sucker Punch Productions, Insomniac Games, Irrational, Klei, 343, Bungie, Activision and Oculus.
