Intriguing station wagon survival game Pacific Drive now has an ETA of sometime in Early 2024, as developer Ironwood Studios reveals a delay is necessary to "stay true to ourselves, and not compromise on the teams well being". The game previously had a release window of 2023.
Pacific Drive caught our eye when it was announced in 2022, with the idea of a "run-based, first-person driving survival game" intriguing us. In a statement (thanks, Gematsu), Irownwood explained the reason for the delay:
"As summer comes to a close, we’d like to share that Pacific Drive is moving its release to early 2024. This decision gives us room to make Pacific Drive the best it can be while still prioritizing the health of our team. As many know, we’ve been hard at work bringing this idea to life for quite some time, and every day adds even more to a game we’re all proud of. In this final stretch, however, it’s important to us that we stay true to ourselves and not compromise on the team’s well-being."
The team also teases that Pacific Drive will be on the main stage for the imminent Future Games Show, which purports to show off more than 50 titles.
What do you think of Pacific Drive, are you looking forward to this particular road trip? Let us know in the comments section below.

Take your time! Game looks really interesting and they oughta get it right 👍
I’m sort of glad this one got delayed. This release schedule is already insane this year and I’m really looking forward to this one. Hopefully it comes at a time where it doesn’t have to compete as much for attention.
That's disappointing to hear but at least they are taking their time to make the best game possible and not put the team under any crunch.
I remember decades ago back in my youth ( almost 4 of them) playing a game called overlander on my spectrum 48k (i had not saved enough money to upgrade to the 128k yet) and this brings back memories of driving around and shooting bandits in order to survive. It had a very mad max feel to it. I know this is far more advanced in every way but it still brought back the memories of a long lost but not forgotten part of my life. I had hair too 🤣
That's cool. Hope they can add VR compatibility at a later date, because this game looks like it would be amazing in a headset!
Was vaguely interested in this, but now it might get forgotten. Then again, I can't think of anything else on the horizon that has me remotely interested, so maybe it won't. 🤷🏻♂️
It's been a dire couple of years. Days Gone 2 would have been thriving right about now.
Huh, I've never heard of this one before! I like the concept, I'll try to keep my eye on it.
The first time I saw this game at PlayStation event I fell in love with this game! it looks very interesting and looks Challenging , I'm all for it!
