A prequel to Redout (2016), a high-speed racing game inspired by the likes of Wipeout and F-Zero, Redout: Space Assault sees players leaving futuristic race tracks behind for space battles above Mars. The game is said to build upon the series’ “lightning-fast action” and “high-skill gameplay,” and features a “deep” single player career mode composed of unique missions.

It looks like Space Assault also takes a hefty dose of inspiration from a past classic, with the arcade-style gameplay and barrel rolls shown off in the trailer being very reminiscent of the early Star Fox games.

​Rather than an Arwing, however, players will be battling it out in a fully customisable “Super Orbital Recon Fighter,” utilising a wide variety of weapon upgrades to “outmanoeuvre, overpower and outclass” their opponents in dogfights.

Redout: Space Assault is available now on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and PC with an RRP of £8.99/$9.99/€9.99.
