Phren Games has announced RC Revolution, an upcoming arcade-style racing game in which you customize and race your own remote-controlled car through numerous cartoonish locations – or create your own using the included track constructor. RC Revolution bills itself as "old-school, light, and accessible" in the gameplay department. A progression system aims to keep you coming back for more when you're not taking advantage of its local and online multiplayer features, which include a Pro League, customizable cars, player-created tracks, and cross-platform play.
