New Star GP could be one of the sleeper hits of 2024. With a unique art style hiding an authentically deep racing simulator, the game has caught the eye of many. We havenāt heard much about when we can jump in and experience the retro racer for ourselves, but now we have a release date for New Star GP.
Race to the future
New Star GP is the ultimate retro racer. Beginning in the 1980s, players can race through five decades right up to the present and beyond. 17 unique championships can be raced across 17 different circuits, both in single-player and split-screen multiplayer for up to four players.
In total, New Star GP has 176 unique events to play, ranging from time trials and checkpoint races to elimination races and even reverse circuit races. Players can also compete against a pool of 45 AI drivers in each event, adding real character every time you hit the track.
New Star GP includes different weather conditions, tyre abrasion rates, and even fuel levels, so youāll be kept on your toes at all times despite the gameās innocent appearance. Custom championships can also be created, with full customisation options available for players who really want to finetune their racing.
Up until now, we havenāt seen a release date for New Star GP. Thatās now changed, however, and it turns out we donāt have to wait long at all.
