FlatOut is back! We’re not really sure where it went, and this time… it’s got a 4 in its title. All jokes aside, we had some fond memories of the FlatOut games. They had a unique brand of demolition derby mayhem. It’s pretty neat to see it coming back after a very mediocre (even bad) 3rd offering a few years back. FlatOut 2 from 2006 was a seminal game in a time when destruction based car games were all the rage. Perhaps FlatOut 4 can make a comeback since there’s been a dearth of new titles?
FlatOut 4 will launch this April on PC, PS4, and XBox One.
We’re hoping. Here’s an announcement trailer, and some of the game’s features below. If you’re keen to pre-order, you can do so at Amazon, Best Buy, and GameStop.
