Neo Formula Racing: The New Challengers is an upcoming racing video game for PlayStation Vita and Nintendo 3DS, and other portable consoles by In-Verse. It was confirmed the same day as the first game arrived; Neo Formula Racing: Dynamite Blaze.
Gameplay[]
It's basically the same as its predecessor, however there will be traps, crazy obstacles and some of them can end beating up the vehicle, and introduces a feature: initial boost, which only can be used in the start of each race.
The Graphical detail also took a change of Outlook, instead of a comic-styled art, it will akin to realistic looks, like the Yakuza/Like a Dragon and In-Verse's very own VSRFX series. But maintaining the color style of the first game.
Story[]
Time Patroller Skylar Archer, short Sky is a woman from the 26th Century, who comes into the 25th Century to defeat and arrest Shadow, a Space Criminal who ran away and tries to conquer the World as well, however, Sky isn't alone in this travel as she meets Medea Reynard and the others to form an alliance of convenience, albeit Sky distrusted the others at first out of jealousy and shyness, she would eventually be trusted and forms friends with the others even if the field is about entertainment.
