14 DAY TRIAL // Mobile game publisher Gameloft is getting ready for the launch of a new title in the popular Asphalt series, the eighth game in the series, called Asphalt 8: Airborne.
Set to become available for purchase later this summer at $0.99 (€0.75), the title is expected to arrive on Android and iOS in the beginning, the same as other installments in the series, although no specific info on the matter has been provided as of now.
The game was designed with 8 new maps packed inside, while also changing the impact that the environment has on each race.
“Asphalt 8 features 8 all new maps from the Nevada desert to the city streets of London, plus a bonus revamped Monaco track for our A7 fans. What I really love about these new tracks is the impact the environments have on each race,” Gameloft’s Michelle notes in a blog post.
“Yes, there is snow. And dust. And rain! Hydroplane through the water-soaked streets of Tokyo after a heavy downpour or slip and slid across frozen tracks in Iceland. And each map features a host of alternate routes to explore and conquer.”
Furthermore, Asphalt 8 arrives on mobile devices with a brand new physics engine, which should provide users with the possibility to control slides, pull death-defying stunts, and do much more.
Additionally, the game will come with both synchronous and asynchronous multiplayer, so that users could challenge their friends whenever they want.
“A7 fans will be happy to note that Takedown mode is returning and we’ve added two new MP modes in A8: Gate Drift & Infected. In Gate Drift you’re challenged to ‘drift’ through multiple gates. The more you get through, the more points you get,” said blog post continues.
There is also an “Infected” game mode, determining users to hit other cars to get rid of the infection and regain their health, all within 20 seconds, or they will be eliminated.
