Horizon Chase Turbo out on Switch this month

Aquiris announced today that the arcade retroracer Horizon Chase Turbo is scheduled for Switch this month. Expect the game to arrive on November 28.

When Horizon Chase Turbo launches on Switch, it’ll be one of the first platforms to include a new “Playground” mode. This involves “a set of live challenges that will be updated regularly so that players can keep competing in the online leaderboards”. Aquiris also intends to announce platform-exclusive content for various systems in the near future.

Here’s more information and a trailer for Horizon Chase Turbo:

Horizon Chase Turbo is a homage to classic 16-bit racers that defined a generation of high-speed and frenetic arcade fun like Out Run and Top Gear. The game is conceived to ignite an instant blast of nostalgia with catchy contemporary music composed by the legendary Barry Leitch (who also created the soundtracks for the Top Gear, Lotus, and Rush series), while also offering split-screen multiplayer and mixing retro low-poly aesthetics with modern gameplay.

Aside from the modernly retro graphics, the split-screen couch multiplayer modes are among Turbo’s most defining features. All game modes, including the World Tour campaign, tournament and endurance challenges support local split screen multiplayer up to four players. Racers can compete in head-to-head races one at a time, or spend hours racing around the globe collecting coins to achieve the common goal of unlocking exotic vehicles and spinetingling tracks.

The game main features include:

– Thrilling arcade racing game, inspired by Outrun, Top Gear, Lotus Turbo Challenge, and others
– Amazing old-style split-screen multiplayer up to 4 players
– Music by Barry Leitch, Sound Designer in 90s racing classics such as Top Gear and Lotus Turbo Challenge, among others
– 12 Cups, 48 Cities, 109 tracks, 32 Unlockable Cars, and 12 Upgrades
– 4 Game Modes: World Tour, Playground, Tournament, and Endurance.
– Challenge your friends in the Ghost Mode and in the Leaderboards.
