AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Developer Caged Element has launched a Kickstarter campaign for Grip XR, the upcoming sequel to Grip: Combat Racing, accompanied by a fresh launch trailer featured on IGN South Africa.
Developer Caged Element has officially taken to Kickstarter to fund the next chapter in high speed vehicular combat. The studio just dropped the launch trailer for Grip XR, the spiritual successor and planned sequel to the cult classic Grip: Combat Racing. Fans of gravity defying, wall scaling arcade racing have plenty to look at as the team showcases early footage and outlines their vision for the project on the crowdfunding platform.
For those who missed out on the original release, the Grip series carved out a distinct niche by blending intense futuristic combat with physics bending vehicle control that let players drive on walls and ceilings. This Kickstarter launch represents a shift in how indie developers are funding ambitious passion projects, giving dedicated communities a direct stake in bringing high risk titles to life. Backer campaigns have become a familiar testing ground for niche genres that traditional publishers often overlook, allowing passionate player bases to vote with their wallets.
As the campaign progresses, the community will be watching closely to see what stretch goals and platform targets Caged Element plans to roll out. You can check out the official campaign details and the new launch trailer over at IGN South Africa, the original source for this story. If the studio can capture that same adrenaline fueled energy of the original while expanding the multiplayer and customization options, this could easily become one of the most exciting indie racers to watch in the coming years.
