Synthesized from 2 Yomimono stories · updated Sep 13

Airframe Ultra is a battle racing game from developer Videocult and publisher Akupara Games. It launches November 5 on PC through Steam, Epic Games, and GOG.com. A demo is live on Steam ahead of release.

The game takes place in Mega City West, a ruined future metropolis, and centers on underground races between riders piloting floating machines called Airframes. Riders attack rivals with pipes, chains, plasma torches, and swords. The design pairs vehicle racing with on-foot combat: players dismount at midpoints to fight, then race again to settle the score. Coverage described the format as retro-styled and tied to a strong sense of speed.

Multiplayer spans online and local play. Up to eight players can race online, and split-screen play with friends is supported. The game also includes customization for the Airframe and rider. Videocult previously developed Rain World, released in 2017.
