If the open road could talk, what would it say about you? In Heading Out, that answer isn’t written in words—it’s carved in tire marks, whispered in static on late-night radio, and shouted in the roar of an engine pushing past the redline. Arriving August 29th, 2025, on PlayStation 5, this genre-bending road trip adventure dares you to outrun not just the law… but your own fears.
🛣 The Story Begins at Full Throttle
You’re Interstate Jackalope, an outlaw with one mission: cross a mythic America to face the greatest driver alive. But your past clings to your rear bumper like the red mist of fear—always close, never far enough behind. Every road you take, every stranger you meet, every reckless race in a forgotten desert town shapes your legend.
"It’s not about the destination—it’s about the journey."
With roguelike routes and a constantly shifting map, no two drives are ever the same. You’ll make snap decisions that alter the road ahead—whether to help a stranded traveler, challenge a rival driver, or push the pedal to outrun the flashing lights in your rearview mirror.
🎯 Gameplay: The Road Is Your Canvas, Choices Are Your Brushstrokes
In Heading Out, the trip is equal parts racing, survival, and storytelling:
Narrative-Driven Racing – Every choice matters, branching into multiple endings.
Resource Management – Fuel, car condition, and focus aren’t just meters—they’re your lifelines.
Dynamic Encounters – Colorful strangers, moral dilemmas, and dangerous rivals.
Stylized Visuals – Striking black-and-white comic-book art, with splashes of vivid color for emotional moments.
Atmospheric Soundtrack – Americana, jazz, and rock guide you through moments of triumph and despair.
🎬 A Love Letter to Road Cinema
Inspired by cult American road movies and the storytelling of Easy Rider, Vanishing Point, and Mad Max: Fury Road, Heading Out transforms the simple act of driving into a deeply personal odyssey. This is more than a racing game—it’s a meditation on freedom, fear, and the stories we write along the way.
