Press release:
London, February 22nd, 2024.
The London-based (the UK) indie games publisher and developer Kepler Interactive and Seattle -based (the US) indie games developer Ironwood Studios, are today very happy and proud to announce that their driving-survival adventure “Pacific Drive”, is now available for PC (via Steam and EGS) and Playstation (PS5 and PS4).

A Digital Deluxe Edition complete with space themed cosmetic items is also available.

Alex Dracott, Creative Director, said: “As a team, it’s surreal looking back 4 years to the creation of Ironwood with a team of 4 in the middle of a global pandemic. We’ve added a few new faces since then but we’re still a small team and we’re incredibly proud to be launching our first title. On behalf of Ironwood Studios, thank you to everyone who takes the time to play Pacific Drive, we hope you enjoy your time on the road.”

Behind an imposing 400-metre barrier, The Olympic Exclusion Zone conceals a captivating, yet hostile, region filled with radiation and hazardous anomalies. Stranded in this surreal and mysterious version of the Pacific Northwest, players navigate the rough terrain with only their station wagon for company amidst eerie voices echoing through the airwaves.

From the safety of the garage, players and their trusty station wagon take excursions into the unknown where survival hinges on searching for precious resources and carefully navigating various hazards. Each trip deeper within The Zone becomes more perilous as players venture further into uncharted territory and uncover strange mysteries and otherworldly dangers before racing against the storm to return to the safe haven of their garage to gas up, fix that flat tire, and try again.

Pacific Drive is available now for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store. A physical collector’s edition is set to be released on April 9th and distributed by Maximum Games at select retailers. To find out more, visit: https://www.pacificdrivegame.com/
