UK based indie developer VooFoo Studios is thrilled to today announce that its first self-published game, Mantis Burn Racing, will launch across PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Steam (for Windows PC), on Wednesday 12^th October 2016.

“The response to the game at recent Gamescom and EGX expos has been nothing short of phenomenal,” says Marketing & PR Manager at VooFoo Studios, Sean Walsh. “We’ve been blown away by the feedback from everyone who’s played the game. We’re thrilled that, in just a few days’ time, players will be able to get their hands on the final game.”

While the game itself doesn’t seem to include a bunch of Mantis racing down a track as they burn alive, I suppose what the team is giving us looks pretty cool. I’m a big fan of this top-down racers and their arcade sensibilities. Here’s to hoping the team crafted something fun, even if they left out the burning bugs.

Shortlisted as a finalist for ‘Racing Game’ in the TIGA Games Industry Awards 2016, Mantis Burn Racing comes packed with four-player local Split-screen racing and 9 different event types that are all playable in both the 20-hour single-player campaign and in eight-player online competitive races and is the PlayStation 4 Pro’s first native 4K title running at 60fps for crystal-clear high definition racing.
