Announced via a trailer on the publisher's official YouTube channel, Nacon has revealed RiMS Racing, a new simulative motorcycle racing game from Italian developer Raceward Studio. The title aims to launch on August 19 for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch.
Although gameplay wasn't shown off in its debut trailer, Nacon makes it very clear that simulation is key to what RiMS Racing's experience is all about. The footage itself focuses on a driver navigating a motorcycle around a track, gradually showing the inner workings of the vehicle and hinting that knowing what makes it tick will be key to winning races.
Hopping over to the game's Steam page reveals some more information about what players can expect from RiMS Racing, revealing that they will be able to drive some of the most revered modern motorcycles and tinker with them to create dominant racing machines. Other features include realistic physics, iconic real-world tracks, and unparalleled control over the configuration of each vehicle. There will even be a career mode, which sees the player take control of a team and attempt to transform their rider into a world-class name by controlling their calendar, working with manufacturers, and choosing which R&D to invest in.
The game looks to be a solid addition to the racing simulation genre, boasting tons of realistic mechanics for motorsport enthusiasts to master. However, it won't be the only major racing game set to debut later this year, with Milestone dropping Hot Wheels: Unleashed in September and Xbox getting ready to release Art of Rally this Summer.
RiMS Racing is slated to launch on August 19 for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
