February 2025 is shaping up to be a quiet month for blockbuster video game releases, but there’s a fresh face on the scene that’s sure to rev your engines. Keep Driving, a unique driving RPG where your road battles unfold in a turn-based style while you gather supplies, is set to hit the digital roads.
If you haven’t heard of this delightfully eccentric game yet, let me fill you in. I got a sneak peek during the Steam Next Fest last year, and let’s just say, I did my very best to avoid death by puddle. The game revolves around a road trip to your buddy’s place, but the twist is that both you and your trusty car will face various challenges typical of a road journey, all while managing the basic human needs like eating and sleeping.
Mark your calendars because the full version of Keep Driving is rolling out on February 6 on Steam for PC. The news popped up in a fun tweet by Swedish developers YCJY Games. They’ve also dropped a new trailer that highlights everything from turn-based skirmishes with tractors and sheep to navigating potholes. Plus, it offers a peek at the extra vehicles you’ll unlock to stockpile resources for yourself, your car, and even the hitchhikers you pick up along the way. I must say, the demo’s almost-Volvo was a blast, but I’m itching to hit the road in a pickup truck, channeling my inner Johnny Cash.
In case you missed it, there’s a tweet from the developers, announcing the release date as February 6 with a catchy trailer attached. It’s all PC for now, but one developer hinted at a console version someday, though they’re still uncertain about which ones besides the Switch. Here’s to dreaming of a PS2 port, so I can toggle between this gem and some classic Need For Speed Underground fun.
For now, let’s hope that the full release of Keep Driving can keep those good vibes rolling that first hooked me. It’s shaping up to be quite the road trip adventure.
