THQ Nordic announces release of the re-mastered off-road racer
THQ Nordic has announced the release of another updated 2008 classic, Baja: Edge of Control HD, coming to digital and retail sometime later this year.
Originally released on PS3 and Xbox 360, Baja: Edge of Control HD has been re-mastered for PS4 and Xbox One with sharp 4K compatibility, a huge selection of vehicles and new environments.
Baja: Edge of Control HD is the remastered version of the original off-road racer from 2008. The game contains more than 1,000 miles of the toughest terrain Mother Nature has to offer, including the steepest mountains, thickest mud and deepest canyons known to man
The game’s vehicle physics deliver authentic handling, and a support management system that allows gamers to monitor and repair realistic vehicle damage as fenders fly, tires are blown, suspension is stressed and engines overheat
I never picked up the original title, (or even heard about it) but I’m always down for an arcade like racer with buggies. If the people at THQ Nordic are bringing this one back so soon there must have been a fanbase there.
