Deep Silver will publish an upcoming gesture-based racing game for Kinect called
Freefall Racers. The first breadcrumb in this trail comes from
an Australian rating that has surfaced, outing Deep Silver as publisher.
The developer is Smoking Gun Interactive, whose
most recent work includes two Kinect experiences,
Mars Rover Landing and
Home Run Stars, so a new Kinect project would make sense. The Vancouver-based studio at least partly funded
Freefall Racers with help from the Canadian government, as evidenced by the $461,243 contributed
through the Canada Media Fund (PDF) last year.
Our first glimpse of the game is courtesy of environmental artist Anthony Leonati, who
published six screens from Freefall Racers on his personal website. [
Update: The images have been pulled from Leonati's website.] In addition to the screens, he also pegs
Freefall Racers for Xbox Live Arcade, though his LinkedIn profile indicates he has since moved on from Smoking Gun to become a senior environment artist at EA.
We've followed up with Deep Silver and Smoking Gun Interactive for comment and will update this post accordingly.
