Formula Fusion is being lauded as a spiritual successor to the classic and iconic futuristic WipEout racing series, and for a good reason. With ex-WipEout devs on the team, they’ve put their game onto Steam Greenlight in the hopes of getting fan feedback to aid in their development.

Featured above, a gameplay concept movie was revealed for the racer – it’s worth noting this isn’t actual in-engine gameplay, as per R8Games’ disclaimer:

“The pitch video and materials used to illustrate this concept represent early pre-production work and are not representative of final gameplay or craft behavior.”

Regardless of the early nature of this build of the game, I think Formula Fusion is already looking very reminiscent of the series its clearly inspired by. R8Games did make a note of saying the game will handle more like WipEout 2097, although this might change before their full release.

Formula Fusion is currently in development for PC. A solid release date isn’t confirmed, but a “pre-release” build is supposed to be coming sometime in June.
