Developed by BBC Worldwide Digital Entertainment & Games and Supersonic, Top Gear: Stunt School Revolution lets players customize cars to the extreme with jet engines, bulldozer shovels, snow plows and more. Tapped into the classic Top Gear culture, the game features experimental vehicles from the show, starting with the home-built “Hammerhead” at launch. New content will be added to the game weekly which will include more challenges, stunts and cars.
Robert Nashak, EVP Digital Entertainment &Games, BBC Worldwide said, “Top Gear: Stunt School Revolution brings all the irreverence and humor of Top Gear to mobile and tablet gaming. Players should brace themselves for a ton of stunts and a ridiculous amount of car customization.”
Elements of the cars are customizable and can be modified to improve performance and visual appeal. There are three classes of vehicles:
• Compact Cars – Light, and great for launching into the air
• Sports Cars – Fast and powerful that maneuver well; great for stunts where you need acceleration and sharp steering
• Utility Vehicles – Strong, durable and heavy; great for carrying heavy items
Top Gear, which premiered in the UK in 1977, is consistently BBC TWO’s most-watched program in the UK. Top Gear premiered stateside on BBC America in 2007. The U.S. version, produced by BBC Worldwide Productions for HISTORY, and featuring hosts Tanner Foust, Rutledge Wood and Adam Ferrara is currently in production on its third season. One of the BBC’s premiere brands, Top Gear, the magazine, is the leading car publication in the UK, and the global road tour, Top Gear Live, continues to be a global success.
