Saber Interactive Announces Stuntman: Hollywood, First New Entry in 19 Years
The announcement revives a dormant action-racing franchise that has not seen a new installment since 2007, and its trailer's heavy use of licensed movie vehicles signals a shift toward branded stunt setpieces rather than original scenarios.

Saber Interactive announced "Stuntman: Hollywood" during Sony's State of Play broadcast on June 3. The game is the first new entry in the Stuntman series in 19 years, following 2002's "Stuntman" and 2007's "Stuntman: Ignition." Players take the role of a Hollywood stunt driver, performing high-difficulty stunts under a film director's instructions across cars, bikes, and school buses. The reveal trailer showed flashy car action including jumping over trains and weaving through traffic. It also featured iconic vehicles from film and television, such as the DeLorean time machine from "Back to the Future," the Knight 2000 from "Knight Rider," and vehicles inspired by "Fast & Furious," "Miami Vice," and "Death Race." The game is planned for release on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. A release date has not been announced.
Saber Interactive, the developer behind the "Stuntman" series, revealed "Stuntman: Hollywood" during Sony's State of Play livestream on June 3. The series debuted in 2002 with the original "Stuntman" and continued with "Stuntman: Ignition" in 2007, both published by THQ. Saber Interactive acquired the rights to the franchise when it bought the developer Volition's assets in 2023, though Volition itself was closed that year. The new game's trailer prominently featured the DeLorean time machine from "Back to the Future" and the Knight 2000 from "Knight Rider," alongside stunts inspired by "Fast & Furious," "Miami Vice," and "Death Race." The trailer showed the player character driving through a variety of environments, including a highway, a desert, and a city street, performing jumps, drifts, and near-misses. The game is in development for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, but no release window has been given.
