Today Slightly Mad Studios has announced that it has been working on PC racer World of Speed which is a massively multiplayer online arcade racing game of AAA quality in the vein of a Project Gotham and also resembles Sony’s Drive Club in many ways from the announcement trailer.
In World of Speed, players will hop in the driver’s seat of an endless garage of cars ranging from everyday city runners to the fastest super cars on the planet to the most iconic cars from throughout the storied history of auto racing. Players will find themselves racing on true-to-life tracks spanning the globe and on tracks only a speed freak could dream up, carved from roadways across cities including London and San Francisco.
World of Racing is the second project for Slightly Mad Studios alongside the high end racing sim Project CARS which is currently in closed Beta. The MMO is scheduled to release on the PC sometime in 2014.
“At the heart of World of Speed lies a unique massive multiplayer online experience which incorporates a dynamic social elements and entirely new ways to compete in a racing video game – from an individual to a team level,” said Ian Bell, Chief Executive Officer of Slightly Mad Studios. “World of Speed is an online game and will be continuously supported with innovative and fresh content to keep the competition furious well after its launch.”
