Jected – Rivals, formerly known as Stuntfest: World Tour, is set to launch via Early Access on Steam in May this year. Despite the name change, the game retains its essence as a wacky, over-the-top stunt driving and flying multiplayer title. Since the game will be free-to-play, you can enjoy the benefits without spending a dime.
The game combines extreme sports, vehicular destruction, and high speeds, allowing you to fly through the air in a variety of vehicles and switch between them depending on which events call for which vehicle.
The in-game matches will pit 18 players against each other as they will race their way to becoming a Jected tournament champion since it will be an elimination-style winner-takes-all tournament, so coming second will do you no good.
The players will have various gadgets on hand to enhance their top speed even further as they try to outrun their opponents. These gadgets include gliders, grappling hooks, and jetpacks, which you can employ to master the surroundings.
Florian Emmerich, Head of PR at the THQ Nordic, said about the game that
The new game from Vienna-based studio Pow Wow Entertainment is 50% action, 50% racing, 50% flying & crazy stunts, so it’s 200% fun.
