About the Game

🌍 What is Unreal Race?

Unreal Race is a massive and unpredictable racing simulation. More than just a driver, you take on the roles of architect, actor, bettor, and spectator: create your tracks, configure the participants, and launch competitions with up to several hundred competitors.

🎮 Arcade Race: Influence the race in real-time with powers, track painting, and tactical shields. You are at the heart of the action. But beware—these abilities are a double-edged sword and could very well turn against you.

🎲 Betting Race: Bet your stars, analyze odds and affinities, then watch fate unfold. No intervention, just your intuition against randomness.

Two modes designed for two distinct experiences, with hours of strategy at the intersection of both. In Unreal Race, you set the stage, manage the chaos, and try to tame the unpredictable.

⚙️ Create, Manage, Intervene

  • Comprehensive Editors: Design your tracks from scratch (layout, scenery, terrain types), create your own custom Cups, and build participant databases with unique statistics.

  • Influence Fate: You are more than a bystander. Use over 10 special powers in real-time to boost your favorites or sabotage your rivals. But watch out: these bonuses can backfire!

  • Dynamic Betting System: Earn Stars by wagering on the winner, the podium, or even the "wooden spoon" (last place). Use your winnings in the shop to unlock new powers, weather effects, and cosmetics.

🎯 Deep Simulation Under the Hood

Success doesn't just depend on luck. Each racer's speed is calculated in real-time based on:

  • Terrain Affinity: 14 color-based terrain types that favor certain profiles. Spotting the right colors at the right time becomes a true tactical challenge.

  • Dynamic Weather: A thunderstorm can slash performance by 20% to 40% depending on the affinity generated at the start.

  • Painting: A paint gauge fills up during the game. Use it to repaint a segment in the color of your choice to boost your favorites or penalize your rivals. Protect your segments and reclaim those of your opponents.

  • Constant Evolution: Follow real-time leaderboards and analyze the full history of your exploits in the logbook.

🏁 3 Modes to Vary the Fun

  • Classic: Pure racing just the way we like it!

  • Elimination: The ultimate stress test. Every X seconds, the last-place racer is knocked out.

  • Points: Accumulate scores across multiple stages to claim the Cup.

🤖 What About the Competition?
