Ice Beam, an indie developer based in Dundee, Scotland, is thrilled to announce the upcoming release of their highly anticipated four-player top-down racer, Make Way. With its innovative gameplay mechanics and chaotic racing action, Make Way promises to deliver an exhilarating experience for players on PC, PlayStation 4 (PS4), PlayStation 5 (PS5), Xbox One, Xbox Series S|X, and Nintendo Switch. This cross-platform multiplayer game allows players to construct their own ever-growing tracks, adding a unique twist to the racing genre.
Crafting the Raceway
In Make Way, players engage in weapon-filled, round-based races, where they must construct the track together. Instead of pre-built courses, players are provided with a random selection of track pieces and hazards, ranging from train crossings and loop-de-loops to seesaws. By piecing together these elements, players can invent a one-of-a-kind raceway that expands and becomes more exhilarating with each round.
Chaotic Multiplayer Action
Make Way offers a variety of ways to enjoy its chaotic racing action. Whether playing alone or with friends, players can engage in local or online multiplayer, with cross-play functionality across all platforms. The game’s ever-expanding collection of track pieces and hazards, unlocked gradually over time, ensures that no two races will ever be the same. Additionally, customizable rulesets allow players to tweak the gameplay, making matches either slightly easier or infinitely more chaotic according to their preferences.
Ice Beam: The Driving Force Behind Make Way
Ice Beam, the talented indie studio behind Make Way, is led by Tom Goodchild, a 20-year veteran in the games industry with extensive experience in racing games. Goodchild’s impressive portfolio includes titles such as Toybox Turbos, where he served as the lead designer, as well as contributions to renowned franchises like Micro Machines series and GRID Legends. With Goodchild at the helm, Ice Beam brings their expertise and passion for racing games to create a truly remarkable and innovative experience with Make Way.
