Twisted Metal creator David Jaffe has joined developer Pixelbionic to work on a new car combat game called Autoduel.
Jaffe joins industry veterans including Scot Kramarich of Interstate 76 fame, inXile co-founder Maxx Kaufman and Mike Arkin, who formerly worked on Battlezone. Jaffe will serve as creative advisor on Autoduel, which Pixelbionic describes as “a PC online multiplayer game which pays homage to epic car combat games of the past.”
According to Pixelbionic, Autoduel is set in a post-apocalyptic future where "warriors drive to survive in their tricked-out, heavily armed vehicles scavenged from the blistered landscape, armed with a deadly array of lethal weaponry."
The game “features team-based combat in a variety of open arenas from abandoned cities to dried-up riverbeds. Players choose from over twenty unique cars which are divided into three warring factions - the Ratters, the Scavengers and the Techies. The cars can all receive a wide variety of upgrades, from mechanical modifications to the drivetrain and suspension, to a broad array of powerful weapons and protective armor which can be bolted onto the vehicles. Additionally, players can extensively customize the paintwork and add decals in order to show their allegiance and express their unique style.”
“I was super excited when I heard Pixelbionic’s vision for Autoduel,” Jaffe said. “As a huge fan of the genre, I’m really looking forward to contributing to the game’s vision and design goals.”
Autoduel will seek crowdfunding, with a Kickstarter campaign set to launch soon. Pixelbionic says more information will be released shortly, “with additional core members of the development team expected to be revealed over the coming weeks.”
