AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Saber Interactive announced Stuntman: Hollywood during the latest State of Play, reviving the classic driving series with licensed vehicles from Back to the Future, Miami Vice, and Knight Rider.
During the latest PlayStation State of Play broadcast, Saber Interactive surprised the community by revealing a full revival of the classic PlayStation 2 driving series. Titled Stuntman: Hollywood, the new game leans hard into arcade action and high-octane vehicular combat. Instead of relying purely on fictional movie sets like past installments, this new entry brings heavy hitters into the garage. The reveal trailer confirmed that iconic rides from major entertainment properties like Back to the Future, Miami Vice, Knight Rider, and Death Race will be featured. Players will step into the shoes of a precision driver executing dangerous movie set choreography across an episodic structure.
Saber Interactive is leaning on arcade racing roots for the moment-to-moment gameplay. Developers on the project noted that they pulled specific inspiration from genre favorites like Burnout and Split/Second to capture the chaotic feel of cinematic destruction. Each level presents distinct challenges ranging from clean drifting runs to explosive chases where players must dodge incoming gunfire while hitting precise marks. Earning stars through main objectives and optional bonus challenges unlocks progression and new garage items, giving players plenty of reasons to replay scenes for a cleaner director cut.
While licensed cars are a staple of traditional racing simulators and open world sandboxes like Forza, seeing them integrated into a dedicated stunt performance framework opens up fresh possibilities for creator content and streaming highlights. Saber Interactive brings a strong track record with licensed properties, having handled games like Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2. Stuntman: Hollywood is currently in development for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, though an official release window has not yet been announced.
