Overpass will feature around 40 tracks in varied terrain and environments and each race will offer a brand new challenge for players to overcome. Both hillclimbing and rock-crawling events must be completed in the best time possible.
Players will find themselves in mud, sand, rocks and other natural and man-made obstacles and each terrain type will bring a brand new challenge for them. Players will utilize the game’s advanced physics engine along with realistic and technical level design along with skills and careful management of their chosen vehicle to complete each stage.
