Developer SlyBalto announced Hyperboard Extreme, a battle racing game inspired by PS2-era arcade racers like Burnout 3: Takedown and Blur. Players race at 400 km/h, using power-ups to take down rivals and civilian vehicles. It features 4-player split-screen multiplayer and old-school cheat codes. The game launches free on Steam for PC on September 11.
The game draws directly from the arcade racer tradition of the PS2 generation, naming Burnout 3: Takedown and Blur as influences. The pitch is straightforward: high-speed hoverboard races at 400 km/h where power-ups clear the track of rivals and civilian vehicles alike.
Beyond the racing, SlyBalto is leaning into local play and customization. Up to four players can race in split-screen, and the game includes UI color options and a roster of racers. Old-school cheat codes are built in, letting players bend the rules for different playstyles.
Hyperboard Extreme is set for a September 11 release on Steam for PC. It will be free, and the developer describes it as a prototype and the first step toward a larger racing project.
