On-the-go racing is a go with Gameloft's new Asphalt Overdrive game for iOS

September 25, 2014

Gameloft has just released the newest title in its popular Asphalt series of racing games, Asphalt Overdrive.

Touted by the game developer and publisher as the first spinoff of the series, Asphalt Overdrive is a free-to-play game designed for on-the-go racing.

Asphalt Overdrive is a mission-based driving game that challenges you with seven mission types and to unlock 30 licensed vehicles including the Lamborghini Countach and the Ferrari Testarossa.

Reminiscent of Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, the new game dares you to outrun and outdrive the cops across a “new ’80s” version of California. Take a look:

Unsurprisingly, Asphalt Overdrive is also powered by some social gaming features:

  • Connect to Facebook or Game Center to play with or against your friends
  • Join a gang to team up with other players and achieve weekly objectives
  • Track your progress and show off your skills as you advance in League championships
  • Compete in limited-time, Gang, and League events as you battle to the top of the leaderboards!

Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad, Asphalt Overdrive is available now on the App Store for free.

Asphalt Overdrive makes its entry into the App Store just a week after the latest full-length title in the Asphalt series, Asphalt 8: Airborne, was updated with visual enhancements made possible by Metal in iOS 8.
