The Stuntman Series Makes a Surprise Return After Nearly Two Decades
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Saber Interactive is reviving the classic Stuntman driving franchise after nearly twenty years, bringing iconic Universal Pictures movie franchises like Fast and Furious and Back to the Future to current gen consoles and PC.
Nearly twenty years after the franchise went dark, the classic action driving series is officially staging a comeback. Saber Interactive is developing Stuntman: Hollywood for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, bringing back the precision driving and cinematic crashes that defined the original games. For a generation of players who grew up mastering painfully difficult director cues, this revival hits all the right nostalgic notes while aiming for modern hardware standards.
What sets this new entry apart is a major partnership with Universal Pictures, which injects iconic movie and television properties directly into the gameplay. The official reveal trailer showcased recognizable vehicles and sequences from major franchises including Fast and Furious, Back to the Future, Knight Rider, Miami Vice, and the 2008 adaptation of Death Race. Players will get behind the wheel of everything from Brian O Conner's legendary movie cars to the heavily armored muscle cars and massive tanker trucks seen in Death Race.
For modern players accustomed to open world sandboxes and endless customization, the structured, level based challenge of the Stuntman formula offers a refreshing change of pace. It turns driving into a performance art where precision, timing, and spectacle matter just as much as crossing the finish line first. As streaming platforms and creator communities constantly look for skill based games that make for great spectator content, a well executed stunt driving game arrives at a perfect time.
