There aren’t anywhere near enough racing RPGs, but Resistor looks set to fill the void on PS5 in the future. While there’s no release date just yet, the release has been inspired by the likes of Speed Racer and Redline, and its gameplay is channelling old-school Burnout and SSX. Okay, you certainly have our attention!
“A turbocharged narrative-driven adventure RPG featuring open-world exploration, stunt-infused racing, and explosive vehicular combat,” the press release reads. “Build up your team and unravel a twisting story as you compete to take down an oppressive mega-corporation and its enigmatic director.”
The game sounds unbelievably ambitious, to be honest: it’s promising a heavily stylised open world which will house a mammoth story. You’ll need to recruit teammates to race alongside you, and as your relationships and bonds develop you’ll unlock bonuses to utilise in races. This certainly sounds like one to keep an eye on, doesn’t it?

This looks like a blast!
Came out of nowhere too.
Will be keeping an eye on it for sure.
Art style is cool, always loved the cel shaded look. The character designs look like Jet Pack Joyride, but I can live with it.
My first impression was "female Cloud and white Barret".
A racing RPG, genius!
Gives me Wacky Racers vibes for some reason! On my wish list it goes!
First of all, my word, what a well done game promo
Second...I now want this game!!
Looks brilliant, definitely getting this.
This sounds right up my alley, look forward to seeing gameplay hopefully soon
Something that could/should have gone into the PlayStation showcase. Looks amazing!
@ManifoldCuriosity first carPG right here: Racing Lagoon https://g.co/kgs/MidLv8
Wham of the month so far. A racing open-worlder RPG with animesque visuals and a female protagonist AND Switch among the announced platforms. Don't wake me up just yet.
this is just chocolate and peanut butter. can't wait
Feels like it’s been an age since we had a game like Mod Nation Racers. The customisation and creation was fantastic! I made a zombie driver and a car based on Stephen Kings ‘Christine’. A shiny new PS5 Mod Nation would be immense. This looks like it might be a blast though. Will def keep an eye on it.
EDIT: Looks like there was a ModNation Racers 2 on PS4 and PS5. How did this pass me by? The kids loved the original. Need to look into it.
RE-EDIT: Apparently there’s a very good fake article about the release of MNR2 which even covers the disbanding of devs UFG stating some members continued to work on the game with the new developer. Disappointing but there you go.
Just from the inspiration alone this sounds like a winner. Looks very decent.
Catch the pigeon.
Just catch the pigeon.
Couls be cool!
What does highly stylised mean?
It looks great.
Kinda has a Redline(anime) vibe in a way. Interesting.
