by John Callaham Feb 21st 2009 @ 9:00AM

As part of Codemasters' press event to the US media this week they released a ton of new assets for their games. One of them is Fuel, their alternate history-themed open world off-road racing game. Codemasters announced at the event that Fuel, from developer Asobo Studios, is now due for release this may for the PC and other platforms.

We remained interested in this game for its promise of a massive open world to drive in along with its unique back story of an alternate timeline where resouces are scarce. Drivers will have to race not for money but for more fuel. The promise of a number of weather effects like rain, tornaods, sandstorms and others that could affect drivers could make Fuel one to watch later this spring.

If you like your off-road racing games to have a bit of story and plot added on for good measure, then perhaps the upcoming game Fuel might be to your liking. Today Codemasters send out new screenshots from the game, due out this spring, that's being developed by Asobo Studios.

If you aren't familiar with the game, Fuel takes place in an alternate timeline where resources are scarce due to the increased events of global warming. Gasoline is in short supply so racers take their off-road vehicles to matches to try to win even more fuel. Codemasters is still promising a massive open world for the game along with having to deal with weather effects like snow, rain, tornadoes and more. Just like your regular commute.

Codemasters announces Fuel; first trailer released

by John Callaham Aug 19th 2008 @ 11:00AM

Publisher Codemasters is best known for its driving games like Dirt and most recently Grid. Today the company announced its newest racing game Fuel, which represents a bit of a departure from its previous efforts. One difference is the use of a third party developer, French company Asobo Studios. Another difference is the open world setting for the game; the press release claims the game world is over 5,000 square miles.

There's even a storyline for Fuel; it takes place in an alternate timeline where natural resources are scarce and climate change has altered the landscape. Racers try to win not money or fame but fuel supplies. Fuel also promises a full dynamic weather system with day and night cycles, rain, tornadoes, sandstorms, blizzards and other hazards. Fuel is currently scheduled for released for the PC and other platforms in 2009; meanwhile Codemasters has released the first developer video for the game.
