wipEout Rush announced for smartphones

Rogue Games and developer Amuzo are pleased to announce wipEout Rush for both iOS and Androd devices.

It has been about four years since Sony Interactive Entertainment has released a wipEout game. wipEout Omega Collection was the last game in the series that Sony released back in 2017.

“I was raised on the console WIPEOUT™ games—and those will continue to live on PlayStation hardware—but we wanted to reinvent the breakneck speed and gorgeous presentation of the series for a new breed of players on mobile devices,” said Matt Casamassina, chief executive officer, Rogue. “We’re working closely with Amuzo and Sony Interactive Entertainment to ensure wipEout Rush delivers an experience that is both complementary and additive to the core console one, but also very accessible and fresh for gamers on the go.”

Here’s an overview of wipEout Rush, via Rogue Games:

wipEout Rush takes the classic anti-gravity racing experience first launched in 1995 for the original PlayStation® and turns the series on its head, thrusting players into the role of the team manager where winning is determined by decisions rather than reflexes. Players are in charge of selecting the right ships, as well as ensuring they are properly upgraded and equipped to win each race. Crafted for the best mobile experience, wipEout Rush incorporates fluid merge gameplay for the first time, allowing players to merge anti-gravity ships to unlock new, more capable vehicles. As players move up in the league, they earn currency to unlock new challenges, weapons, and upgrades.

For fans of the series, wipEout Rush is bringing loads of new lore through collectables and story. Players will be able to unlock collectable cards to learn more about the ships, teams, pilots, and tracks of the WIPEOUT™ world as they progress through an engaging single-player campaign told through exciting animated comics. wipEout Rush will include both Quick Race and Championship Cup game modes complete with 5 different tracks, 60 iconic WIPEOUT™ ships, a wide range of familiar weapons, 12 Championship Cups each with their own boss, and bundles of collectables.
