Auto Club Revolution, the online racer from Eutechnyx, is on schedule to begin a closed beta test in July, and if you haven’t registered yet, you can at the Auto Club Revolution website.
The game itself is a downloadable app with all the normal features you’d expect from a racing game including a HUD, drafting and drifting, and vibration and force feedback support for wheels. It’ll have single player modes including Time Trails with a global leaderboard, and some personal challenges to complete – daily, friend, car, series pin, Auto Club and more.
Multiplayer is controlled via the Race Hangout, from which you can create lobbies for initially two-to-eight players. You’ll either be able to invite friends or find opponents via match making rankings, and cutting corners, leaving the track, driving backwards or being overly aggressive will result in warnings of penalties. Also mentioned are driver assists, dynamic racing lines, upgrading and tuning.
For launch, Auto Club Revolution will have cars in 8 tiers:
- Class E – Hot Hatch
- Class D – Cruiser
- Class C – Sport
- Class B -Performance
- Class A – High Performance
- SC – Super Car
- EX – Exotic
- RA – Racer
