Akupara Games and Videocult will release the battle racing game Airframe Ultra on November 5 for PC via Steam, Epic Games, and GOG.com. The retro-styled racer has players piloting hover vehicles at high speed, dismounting at midpoints for combat, then racing again to settle the score. Up to eight players can race online, and split-screen play with friends is supported.
Airframe Ultra's Circuit mode, currently in playtest, runs three races. Points accrue from race results and enemy takedowns, and the player with the most points wins, but only if they have won at least one race. Weapons range from pipes and chains to plasma torches, handguns, assault rifles, and machine guns, and players can attack rivals while driving.
Courses span a rusted shipyard, skyscrapers, dunes, and an entire city. The game supports split-screen play with friends and online multiplayer for up to eight players.
