Cyberpunk 2077 is so much bigger than its PS5 game these days, so the next time you’re in an arcade, don’t be surprised to see Chrome Rush inside.
This is a Road Rash-style racing game comprising two full-sized motorcycles, which you’ll commandeer through a number of Night City’s locations, like Corporation Plaza and the Badlands.
Made by arcade manufacturer UNIS under license from CD Projekt RED, the gameplay’s got that Cruis’n-style craziness to it, where you’re doing death defying leaps hundreds of metres in the air, as buildings explode in the background.
It looks a bit framey in the above footage, which is a bit concerning considering cabinets are scheduled to start shipping in May. We also think the graphics aren’t as sharp as they should be; it all looks a little bit muddy to us.
But we do like the concept of a combat racer set within the Cyberpunk 2077 universe. Apparently the full game will feature four tracks, seven characters, and eight bikes, so a reasonable amount of content for an arcade cabinet, then.
This follows the announcement of a new Resident Evil 2 shooter which is set to start location testing soon. It’s a fun time for fans of good ol’ fashioned coin-op fun.
