MotorStorm: Pacific Rift Rampaging to Retail on October 28

The PlayStation Blog has confirmed that MotorStorm: Pacific Rift will be arriving on store shelves October 28. Previously, it was slated for a November release, but the new release date should make gamers looking forward to the rampaging racing game pretty happy.

Like Shawn mentioned yesterday, the demo for MotorStorm: Pacific Rift should be landing on PSN sometime today (if it hasn’t already).

The anything-goes style of racing gamers have grown accustomed to in MotorStorm, is moving from the mountainous desert to a lush Pacific island, replete with thick swamps, dense jungle, towering peaks and steaming volcanoes. You’ll be rampaging through thick mud, tangled undergrowth, swift flowing rivers, and searing lava pools of this new location with all of the vehicles familiar to players of the first game. ATVs, rally cars, buggies, motorbikes, race trucks, mudpluggers and Big Rigs are once again included and joining the cast is the new monster truck class and for the first time, you and your friends will be able to race head-to-head in the new 4 player split-screen mode for some major racing mayhem. With trophy support, and 16 multi-route tracks (double the amount from the first MotorStorm) featuring  real-time terrain deformation will help ensure that no two laps are the same.
