While WipEout Omega Collection remains a fantastic entry in Sony's sci-fi racing series, it's made up of the same content we've been playing since the PSP games — albeit majorly prettied up. We've not had a truly new game in the series for a long time, and indie teams have been filling that time with some pretty decent copycats. Redout is one of them, an ultra-fast anti-grav racer from developer 34BigThings. Now, it's back with Redout 2.
Just announced, the sequel calls itself the "next generation of anti-gravity racing", and you can see what it looks like in action with the above trailer. It looks suitably speedy, with lots of sweeping bends, split tracks, and enormous jumps. With the music accompanying the action, it gives off an energetic and fun atmosphere.
According to the official site, there will be 36 tracks, all of which can also be played in reverse. It's also set to feature online multiplayer, deep vehicle customisation, a photo mode, and a soundtrack including Giorgio Moroder and Zardonic.
The game is pencilled in for a 2022 release on both PlayStation 5 and PS4. Are you looking forward to Redout 2? Speed into the comments section below.

VR mode, please...
I'll keep an eye on this but not getting my hope up after the first outing.
As you've mentioned, there's a few games out there trying to emanate the anti gravity racing blueprint that is wipeout. Redout is definitely one of the better ones, with a good learning curve and plenty of content, this is definitely one to watch.
I hope to get the soundtrack on CD with it.
@Saucymonk same here. Started kinda cool, but got old and un-fun really quick. More frustration than excitement.
It’s weird that Sony shelved the series in the first place imo…
@TeapotBuddha It's missing Studio Liverpool/Psygnosis.
@Arnna Yes, axing one of THE iconic Playstation games did seem somewhat stupid because it was - and now we're just left with a load of wannabees.
In the same vein, please see "Everybody's Golf" and "Motorstorm"...
Awesome, I actually enjoyed RO1 (almost as much as Wipeout too). I hope the handling feels a bit more Wipeout and less sim-racer this time around. I don't like Pacer and it's essentially a drift racing game rather than an arcade-style AG game
