Get ready for a thrilling new addition to the arcade racing world. iRacing has just announced a partnership with Original Fire Games to develop and publish a fresh “racing game aimed at the broader casual racing market.”
Tentatively titled “iRacing Arcade,” this highly anticipated game is set to launch in 2025 for both PC and consoles. According to the announcement, this new title will leverage the infrastructure of Circuit Superstars, the popular game from Original Fire Games, to deliver an enhanced driving experience.
“iRacing has long been interested in expanding into other niches in the race gaming market, and we’re thrilled to be doing that with Original Fire Games,” said Tony Gardner, president of iRacing. “We have a lot of respect for what they’ve done with Circuit Superstars, as a lot of our team have played and loved the game. Their existing game is fun, very high quality, and the driving is great, three of the things we insist all our games have. Teaming up with them is the perfect opportunity for us to enter this space with a strong foundation that we can build upon.”
Original Fire Games co-founder Carolina Mastretta shared her excitement: “What we created with Circuit Superstars showed us that there is a hunger for arcade-like racing experiences that are true to motorsport. As an industry leader in the sim racing space for nearly two decades, iRacing has the talent, expertise, and technology that can help us catalyze the potential of the foundation we’ve built so far.”
The development of iRacing Arcade will be spearheaded by Original Fire Games, with iRacing providing various technologies and development resources. The game promises to feature a career mode and other in-depth gameplay elements to enhance the arcade racing experience.
But that’s not all—iRacing has a busy schedule ahead! This month, they are launching ExoCross, and next year, they plan to release their first NASCAR game.
