Akupara Games announced their partnership with Oscar Brittain to publish Desert Child, a hoverbike racing RPG for consoles and PC. After a successful campaign on Kickstarter, developer Oscar Brittain has signed with Akupara Games to bring Desert Child to the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC/Mac (Steam and Game Jolt). No release date has been set yet, but a late 2018 launch is targeted.
In Desert Child, players will race on vintage hoverbikes in an effort to make enough money to get off Earth before it blows up and escape to the Red Planet. In between races, players can sell gun parts for money, repair and customize bikes, and eat ramen to fuel up.
