Neognosis has announced that its anti-gravity racer BallisticNG NX Edition is coming to Switch.
Originally, the game released on PC as simply BallisticNG. It’s unclear what exactly is new this time around, though support for user generated content is confirmed.
For those that haven’t heard of BallisticNG previously, check out the following overview and trailer:
BallisticNG is an anti-gravity combat racer developed as a love letter to the original wipEout trilogy. Set in the year 2159, you glide through futuristic courses armed to the teeth with deadly weapons to aid you in taking first place.
With a laser focused and authentic recreation of the original PlayStation wipEout game physics, merging the best of each entries handling into one streamlined experience, BallisticNG returns anti-gravity racing to its glory days of technical piloting mechanics that are immensely satisfying to master.
