Good morning retroracers!

We are happy to announce that Horizon Chase Turbo will launch on 15th of May for PS4 and PC/Linux/Mac. The game will be releasing on XBOX One and Switch later this year!

"The mobile version was unanimously acclaimed by critics and players, but we know the experience on PC and consoles was worth of a much larger effort. So we redesigned the game from the ground-up, turning it into a new game according to what is expected from next-gen platforms", said Sandro Manfredini, Business Director at Aquiris.

Tons of content: 

  • 12 Cups, 48 Cities, 110 tracks, 26 Unlockable Cars and 10 Upgrades.
  • New Game Modes: Tournament and Endurance.
  • Music by Barry Leitch, Sound Designer in 90s racing classics such as Top Gear and Lotus Turbo Challenge, among others.
  • Challenge your friends in an Online Competitive Ghost Mode.
  • Make History by adding your name among Friends' Leaderboards.
  • Amazing old-style split screen multiplayer up to 4 players.
  • Modern high quality graphics and UI.

Stay tuned here and on the other Horizon Chase profiles on Social Media for more news!

2015: Our first Playstation Experience.

Our dear colleagues had an awesome weekend showcasing‪ #‎HorizonChase‬'s ‪#‎Playstation4‬ prototype at ‪#‎PlaystationExperience2015‬. Know them a bit better:

-Sandro Manfredini. Business Director. He has been responsible for the relationship with all the distribution platforms since the very beginning of the project. The game was Apple Editors’ Choice in US and dozens of other countries. Horizon Chase was also selected by Apple to be installed on its devices at Apple Stores around the globe.

-Amilton Diesel. Co-founder, Horizon Chase Producer & Tech. Art Director. The magician behind the gorgeous graphics and great visual performance of the game (interview: http://pastebin.com/BSZsbbag).

-Barry Leitch. Composer. Barry is responsible of the upbeat/techno feel to the game, which definitely helps bring you back to days of sitting in your local arcade wasting quarter after quarter to get the high score. He is a living legend to us, well known for having created the soundtracks for classics as Lotus Turbo Challenge, Rush and Top Gear videogame series. Being absolute fans of Top Gear for the SNES, it is a real gift for us to have the original composer on board.

Barry Leitch Top 5 Retroracer Tunes: Nº 1 - Lotus 3 - Amiga and Top Gear Vegas.

Barry’s commentary:

My personal favorite would be my unreleased music for Lotus 3 on the Amiga. Sadly it was lost in the mists of time, but a version of it survived slightly modified in European Champions on the amiga . The only big difference between that version and the lotus version was that lotus didn’t have the crowd or soccer noises.

Just kidding, it has to be Top Gear Snes :)

Top Gear Vegas piece has become an anthem for a generation in Brazil, (allegedly - I still find it suspcious that so many people could like one of my tunes). So this choice really belongs to them :)

Horizon Chase submitted remixes can be found online on Game Audio Academy’s site! 33 amazing tracks have been submitted to the contest, all filled up with pure arcade racing love from nowadays’ musicians hands. 

The jury will reveal the winners very soon! Tell us which one is your favourite!

Check out the other four Barry Leitch’s favorite tunes:

Inside the temple of Kashi Vishwanath in Varasani (India) in Horizon Chase​. 

Kashi Vishwanath Temple is one of the most famous Hindu temples and is dedicated to Lord Shiva. This is one of the most worshiped Shiva temple in Hinduism and has been mentioned in the Puranas including the Kashi Khanda (section) of Skanda Purana. The original Vishwanath temple was destroyed by the army of Qutb-ud-din Aibak in 1194 CE, when he defeated the Raja of Kannauj as a commander of Mohammad Ghori. The temple has been destroyed and rebuilt several times in the past 800 years and the existing structure was erected in 18th century.

The Golden Temple Amritsar in India (Sri Harimandir Sahib Amritsar) is not only a central religious place of the Sikhs, but also a symbol of human brotherhood and equality. Everybody, irrespective of cast, creed or race can seek spiritual solace and religious fulfilment without any hindrance. It also represents the distinct identity, glory and heritage of the Sikhs. To pen-down the philosophy, ideology, the inner and outer beauty, as well as the historical legacy of Sri Harimandir Sahib is a momentous task. It is a matter of experience rather than a of description.

Located near the border of California and Nevada, in the Great Basin, east of the Sierra Nevada mountains, Death Valley constitutes much of Death Valley National Park and is the principal feature of the Mojave and Colorado Deserts Biosphere Reserve. It is located mostly in Inyo County, California. It runs from north to south between the Amargosa Range on the east and the Panamint Range on the west; the Sylvania Mountains and the Owlshead Mountains form its northern and southern boundaries, respectively. It has an area of about 3,000 sq mi (7,800 km2). The highest point in Death Valley itself is Telescope Peak in the Panamint Range, which has an elevation of 11,043 feet (3,366 m).
