If you’ve ever thought you spotted something weird while driving through creepy woodland at night then you’ll probably be up for Ironwood Studios’ debutPacific Drive, due out in 2023. It’s a first-person “road-lite” survival game that puts you behind the wheel of a customisable station wagon deep in a locked-down military test zone full of mad science. Gaze at that homely wood-panelling as you watch the trailer below.

You’ll have to zhuzh up a handily unoccupied station wagon at your garage base as though you’re an off-brand Egon Spengler, driving it on runs around the Exclusion Zone’s various biomes while avoiding radiation and strange anomalies. Ironwood say that each storm that passes through shifts the landscape around though, so every run should be different. They recommend being aware of the area’s reputation for “old tales” and “urban legends” too.
Pacific Drive was revealed during yesterday’s Sony State Of Play livestream, along with a few other things coming to PCs in the near future. Team Ninja aredevelopinga – surprise! – samurai game calledRise Of The Ronin, set in an open-world Japan just after the country opened up to the West.

Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio aredefinitely bringingYakuzaspin-offLike A Dragon: Ishin!to PC in 2023 though, which is another game set in Japan’s past.
