Press release:
Gothenburg, Sweden – August 23rd, 2023.
Thunderful, Coatsink and Ghosts are thrilled to unveil their all-new, momentum-based, time-trial racer, “Phantom Spark“, via a new trailer that debuted today at the Future Game Show.

There is no limit to your speed in Phantom Spark, encouraging you to push the boundaries and take risks to smash time trial records throughout its weaving, rollercoaster-like levels, Phantom Spark features both a full single-player campaign and the option to compete via local split-screen and online asynchronous multiplayer and will launch onto PC and Nintendo Switch. Wishlist Phantom Spark on Steam now.

Phantom Spark’s vivid world features a host of memorable characters against which you’ll be thrust into competition during the game’s single-player campaign. Meet the guardians of every track, then utilise your knowledge and skills to beat them in 1-on-1 races in order to create links, unlock new levels and new cosmetically altered ships as you progress throughout the game.

Momentum is everything in this gravity defying future-fantasy time-trial racer. Master the ancient tracks of this forgotten land as its ancestral guardians guide you along the way. Weave through spectacular ruins and glide through the air as you seek your ultimate goal of perfection via the game’s easy-to-learn and hard-to-master gameplay.

Phantom Spark not only allows you to compete against your friends locally via split screen, but the world at large thanks to its online leaderboards. Compete against the ghosts of other players and forge new online rivalries with other players as you bid to post the perfect time on over 30 tracks.

“It’s so exciting to finally be able to share Phantom Spark with the world,” said Torfi Asgeirsson, co-founder of Ghosts.

“This is just the first-step and we can’t wait to share more in the future and get people to feel the thrilling sense of momentum that the game offers when they eventually get their hands on it!”
