Ride to Hell: Route 666 announcement trailer

More On: Ride to Hell: Route 666
Ride to Hell: Route 666 is the downloadable game with a "sports game-like" approach to combat that I told you about earlier this month when the news that Ride to Hell was still a thing and getting three separate games in the coming months.  Deep Silver has released what they're calling an "announcement" trailer despite the fact that Ride to Hell: Route 666 has already been announced.  But whatever, I don't know how or why things are called what they're called.  I do know that this trailer, showing off Ride to Hell: Route 666's vaguely cell-shaded visual style, looks a spot more interesting than the trailer for the other Ride to Hell game.  No judgment.

Ride to Hell: Route 666 is set for release this summer and will be available on Xbox Live, the PSN, and Steam.  To learn more, follow the jump.  
 
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
 
Grab your crew and take them on a thrilling ride: Deep Silver reveals new details on Ride to Hell: Route 666
 
April 25, 2013 – LARKSPUR, CA - Deep Silver today is putting the pedal to the metal with more details on the upcoming action game Ride to Hell: Route 666. In the world’s first real time tactics beat’em up, players will beef up their pack of road warriors, provide them with the right gear, and take them to the streets in a merciless battle for every mile of the legendary Route 66. The trip starts this summer, when the game is scheduled to hit the PlayStation® Store, Xbox Live® for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and Steam.

Tactics are essential when up against a colorful cast of enemies. Players will be able to bark orders at their fearless gang members to bring them into the right formation on-the-fly with easy, accessible controls. Clever tactics will be rewarded, opening up enemy defenses and allowing you to get in on the action: as the leader of this lawless bunch, you can support your warriors at the front line or issue instructions from the back. Pick up and play action controls allow the players to get involved in the fight at any time. You’ll also be recruiting new members to join your gang, with each one bringing their own special abilities to a fight, from big bad bruisers to sultry medics. 

Ride to Hell: Route 666 is set within the Ride to Hell universe, a world of bare-knuckle violence, and rip-roaring motorcycles. Later this year the setting will be extended by two further titles featuring the unique and incomparable biker lifestyle; Ride to Hell: Retribution and Ride to Hell: Beatdown.
Ride to Hell: Retribution tells the story of a lone rider, Jake Conway, a man with either a gun in his hand or a girl on his lap (and on more than one occasion both!). He’s on a merciless path of revenge against a brutal biker gang called The Devil’s Hand, armed to the teeth with an arsenal of deadly weapons to enact his vengeance on foot and on bike. The only law Jake answers to is his own.  Hit hard, ride fast and leave 'em in the dust  June 2013 for Xbox 360, Windows PC, and PlayStation®3.

The Ride to Hell universe will be rounded out with Ride to Hell: Beatdown, a rock’n’roll brawler set to light up the mobile space, on the go! More details on this title will follow soon. 
Ride to Hell: Retribution is developed by Eutechnyx, Ride to Hell: Route 666 by Black Forest Games.
