Pacific Drive is one of the fresher, more intriguing prospects on the horizon, and though it was recently delayed into 2024, a new story trailer shown off at Gamescom's Future Games show has us anticipating a post-apocalyptic road trip of our own.
A vehicular, run-based roguelike, players drive a potentially supernatural station wagon across the Pacific Northwest, taking detours as required. It seems structurally quite similar to the excellent Slay the Spire, which is even more promising.
You'll need to repair damage and construct new modifications, in turn letting you survive longer runs, which are complicated by elemental anomalies and metallic monsters attempting to wreck your ride. Apparently, the car can develop quirks that will need to be rectified (or not), such as the horn sounding when the wheel is turned, which sounds incredibly stressful to us.
What do you think of Pacific Drive, is this one on your radar? Push the pedal to the medal and peel off into the comments section below.

I have a feeling this will be a plus title.
This game looks better and better the more I see of it.
It’s definitely on my most anticipated games list. Don’t mind the delay if it helps the game.
This game really looks like fun. I'm certainly excited for it.
@PixelDragon I didn't mind the rogue-like nature of Returnal. It's only real problem was it's absolutely unforgiving RNG. It's nice that Housemarque did add the suspend ability, but the RNG could make the game feel very tedious.
Not usually a big roguelike guy myself but Returnal has been my favourite native PS5 game so far and this looks cool too.
