In Ironwood Studios’ debut video game Pacific Drive, an unknown phenomena has transformed a big part of the Pacific Northwest into what’s now known as the Olympic Exclusion Zone.
Players are asked to navigate the Zone’s dangers, which include lethal monsters and unpredictable storms, from behind the wheel of an extensively customized station wagon. While your character can get out of your car and even take damage, your survival primarily depends on how well you take care of your car.
Ironwood has variously described Pacific Drive‘s genre as “driving survival” or, more cleverly, a “road-lite.” Each trip through the Exclusion Zone is randomized, so no two players will have the same experience, but you’ll learn and gain something from each failed run.
Pacific Drive was first revealed in 2022 at one of Sony’s State of Play livestreams. It’s the debut project from Ironwood, founded in 2019 and headquartered in Seattle.
