Card-based Mobile Racer WipEout Rush Announced For Android & iOS, Arriving Sometime in 2022

As familiar as many people are with Sony Interactive Entertainment’s stance on the console space, the PlayStation company continues to overtake the market with record-high sales and commercial performance against its competition. But, the firm is not covering all boundaries. So far, the Sony gaming division is buying its way into other platforms outside of the home console space it appears.

Previously, it was revealed that Nixxes Software is being bought up by Sony Interactive Entertainment to work on first-party projects for PC. More recently it was pressed that the purchase is already commencing on work for the PlayStation firm. Additionally, the funding behind PlayStation is also buying up prevalent virtual reality real estate as well with Firespite Games just this past month as well.

Interesting enough is if mobile could potentially be expecting some DNA from PlayStation now. In a new announcement from Rogue Games, WipEout Rush is set to release for Android & iOS coming sometime next year. You can watch the announcement trailer in the video below:

Unlike prior entries, Rush is framed to be a card-based experience that is best suited for the mobile platform. Explained by Rogue Games CEO Matt Casamassina to IGN, he elaborates on the differences of its ambition for the game for the platform. “If I want that visceral, immersive, intense racing experience, I’ll find it waiting on PlayStation. But at the same time, we’re delighted that we could rethink wipEout for mobile with some fun new play mechanics and gorgeous visuals.

“We hope fans will come to it with an open mind because—although different—we’re proud to bring the wipEout franchise back into focus with a fresh take on the formula,” he continued. “And we’ve poured a lot of love into the presentation, which includes loads of iconic ships and tracks, a new comic book-inspired narrative, a fitting electronica soundtrack, and gorgeous visuals that run at 60 frames per second on modern hardware.”
