Genki shared new gameplay footage for its upcoming PC release of Tokyo Xtreme Racer. It will release the highway racing game worldwide on Steam in 2025.
The main gameplay mode will involve one-on-one duels against other street racers. The ultimate objective is to deplete the opponent’s spirit points by having them hit an obstacle or outrunning them for at least 25 meters. Players will also be able to customize their cars with decals, aftermarket parts, and underglow lights.
The new footage, which also features music tracks remixed from prior series entries, is available to watch via Genki’s YouTube channel:
Genki has been gradually revealing the roster of cars that will appear in the new Tokyo Xtreme Racer. The first six cars it revealed on YouTube were the Nissan Skyline GT-R V-Spec II, Toyota Supra RZ, Mazda RX-7 Type RZ, Toyota GR86 RZ, Toyota Levin GT-APEX, and Subaru Impreza WRX STI Spec C. The new gameplay footage further confirmed appearances of the Mazda3 Fastback 20S Retro Sport, Suzuki Swift Sport, and Toyota Sprinter Trueno GT-APEX 3 Door—the latter of which was popularized by Takumi Fujiwara in Initial D.
This game will mark a return for the Shutoko Battle highway racing game series that appeared first on the Super Famicom (SNES) in 1994 but went dormant after Genki made Shutoko Battle X for Japan and Import Tuner Challenge for the West on Xbox 360 in 2006 (or 2007 if you count the Wangan Midnight games Genki released for the PS3 and PSP in Japan). The new game is so far sharing both the same Japanese and English titles as the 1999 release on the Sega Dreamcast.
The new Tokyo Xtreme Racer will be available worldwide on PC via Steam in 2025.
