LANESPLIT, the traffic-weaving motorcycle racing simulator developed by solo developer FunkyMouse, throws caution to the wind with today’s launch on PC via Steam ahead of PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions arriving later this year.
Straddle the line between life and death as brake lights become luminous streaks of bright red and blinding white. Push the throttle to the max while zooming through traffic-filled tunnels. Speed towards colorful skylines, chase the sunset, and navigate low-visibility conditions as night falls on alpine mountains, twisted Tokyo roads, and other maps based on real-life locations.
Mind the weather before making a selection from 15 high-performance motorcycles: dry streets allow for nimble maneuvers, but wet asphalt will call for maximum traction. Test impulsive reflexes and split lanes in Rush Hour mode, or become one with the road in Zen Mode for traffic-free runs. Customize clothing and helmet options, and hit the road running towards the top of global leaderboards by earning high scores from going fast without crashing.
Enter a high-octane flow state while flirting with death as “responsible” drivers merge onto the highway and unexpectedly switch lanes as they abide by the speed limit. Experience the physics, motion blur, and tight controls as the energetic drum-and-bass soundtrack intensifies in volume alongside the speedometer.
“The support LANESPLIT has received from the motorcycle community has been monumental, and I cannot thank them enough for spreading the word about my game,” said Shakya Ranatunga, founder and solo developer at Funky Mouse. “Whether riding solo or with friends, amid rush hour traffic or with the road all to yourself, there is no wrong way to become king of the road here.”
LANESPLIT cuts through tricky traffic to arrive today on PC via Steam for $17.99 with language support in English, with PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions planned for a later date. For more information, follow developer FunkyMouse on Twitter/X and check out the official YouTube page.
