It’s the new year and it looks like new projects are on the horizon for the director of acclaimed driving series DriveClub. Paul Rustchnysky has announced that he has been working alongside Avalanche Studio’s new Liverpool team to develop a brand new title which will be announced later this year. However, there’s some bad news for DriveClub fans as it will not be a racing game. Time to put that DriveClub 2 wish list away from another year, I suppose.

Rustchynsky, who was also lead designer on several MotorStorm titles at Sony’s Evolution Studios, had this to say upon the matter:

“In 2021 we (Avalanche Studios Group) opened a new studio in Liverpool, an exciting moment for me having achieved one of my career goals,” Rustchynsky wrote on Twitter. “In 2022 we’ll get to announce the game we’ve been working on for the past year”.

He added: “To set some expectations, I’m not working on a racing game. So sorry, no DRIVECLUB sequel, MotorStorm successor or ONRUSH offshoot. This is something very different to anything I’ve worked on before.”

Additionally, the infamous director went on to explain that this will be an original venture. “There are more projects being worked on at Avalanche than most people would expect!”

This will come as a surprise for many fans, but that doesn’t necessarily mean its an unwelcome one! This could be the start of something very exciting and we cannot wait to see what they have to offer. Especially with the new Avalanche Liverpool branch, which seems to be looking very exciting indeed.

Following Evolution Studios’ closure in 2016, the majority of its staff were hired by Codemasters to work on a new racing project.

However, following disappointing sales of 2018’s Onrush, several members of the Codemasters EVO development division, including Rustchynsky, were reportedly let go and the division shifted towards a support role for other titles, such as 2020’s Dirt 5.

Driveclub’s PlayStation Plus Edition to finally be available to download from today, June 25th.

Sony has announced that PlayStation Plus members will at long last be able to download the game and play it offline from today. Driveclub was originally meant to be released alongside the PS4 all the way back in 2013, when it finally got released in October 2014, there were serious issues that caused Sony to postpone indefinitely. Sony will begin to slowly roll out online access to ensure that all game systems are running smoothly.
