Pacific Drive Releases New ‘Drive Your Way’ Content Update

Developer Ironwood Studios and publisher Kepler Interactive have just released the second content update to their first-person survival video game Pacific Drive, adding new gameplay presets and over 50 new settings, making this the most significant update since its initial February release on PlayStation 5

Pacific Drive ‘Drive Your Way’ Additions

The first addition is six new gameplay presets, in addition to the default Pacific Drive setup. These are Iron Wagon, Scenic Tour, Mechanic’s Road Trip, Joyride, Nuclear Journey and Olympic Gauntlet. Here’s what each of them consist:

  • Iron Wagon: Significantly increases difficulty, and adds permadeath.
  • Scenic Tour: Lowers difficulty, removes death and reduces requirements to driving, hazards, damage and crafting.
  • Mechanic’s Road Trip: Driving is impacted by the terrain and status of the car. Items cost more to repair and cannot be crafted while on runs.
  • Joyride: The same gameplay and tension as Pacific Drive, but gathering, crafting and research requirements are all lowered. Damage and failure penalties are minimal.
  • Nuclear Journey: Every map will be filled with lose dose radiation that is harmful to the player. Storms are faster and stronger, hazards and damage are more plentiful.
  • Olympic Gauntlet: All aspects of the game are much harder. An extreme gauntlet to challenge the most dedicated breachers.

In addition to these presets, players can adjust gameplay elements like terrain impact, storm intensity, damage modifiers and crafting requirements, among others, with over 50 settings to really fine-tune your experience however you like it. Lastly, a $4,99 Anomalous Customization Pack adds in several cosmetic options.
