Racing Apex is a fast and fun arcade style racing game that takes inspiration from some of the first 3D polygon arcade racing games from 1988 to 1992 and adds modern gameplay elements of car combat and multiplayer mayhem.
Many thanks for everyone's support over the years! Today we are thrilled to unveil Hotshot Racing (formally known as Racing Apex) developed in partnership with Sumo Digital and Curve Digital!
Hotshot Racing channels classic polygonal arcade racers and is coming this spring to Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and PC! There will be many more updates between now and launch! For more info please check out:

Racing Apex is now on Steam Greenlight and Kickstarter. We also have a new video detailing some of the inspiration behind Racing Apex.
Watch the latest Racing Apex trailer. Captured at 60 Frames Per Second on PC. Also added information on the game features and modes.
So far is it possible to implement stuff like track editor or livery editor in the future?
We have looked at a track editor and livery editor. Currently when using the livery editor you are limited to the amount of polys on a vehicle (as we color each triangle with vertex colors), which can make painting 'interesting'! We're still testing at the moment to see if would be useful for players.
I love the art style, good luck with the kickstarter.
Thanks! We're currently working on a gameplay demo of Racing Apex, so we've put the brakes on the Kickstarter campaign for now. Hopefully with demo available it'll generate more interest!
This game looks completely amazing!
As for the cars I want to see, I have a short but sweet list.
Ferrari 575

Lancia Delta Integrale
Saab 900 "Black Turbo"
Volvo 740/940/S90

Great list Hogge! Really liked the 900 Turbo and the airplane inspired interior!
I just found out that you guys were involved with the development of a couple of Burnout titles and a Midnight Club title, how about adding some references/shout outs to those series? Like having a paint job resembling Kitano Hydros (the green Honda Civic alike from Burnout 2 that occasionally appears in the later series) and a bodykit for Saleen S7 that makes it resembling the Veloci from Midnight Club 2?
Keep up with the good work!
Hi Nergal01, We will have a few subtle references to the racers we've worked on! ;)
Hate to be "that guy" but will the project still go on if the KS funding fails? Frankly the KS campaign outlook doesn't look...too promising despite everyone has done their best already.
Yes development will continue after the KS has ended. We're looking at options such as going straight on to Early Access
