Chases can be triggered anytime, anyplace on the map, making each chase unique and unpredictable for players in this open-world face-off.

Additionally, all The Crew players will have complete access to the street racer gameplay, including special abilities such as unlimited nitro and blinding flashbangs, as well as the new level 60 cap and the matching performance boost.

Combining our favourite elements of rail-shooters and music gameplay has created something truly unique that we’re very proud of,” states Paul Norris, founder and Creative Director at Mad Fellows. “Aaero is based on a deep, fundamental synergy between music, gameplay and visuals. We’ve strived to create a unique and intuitive experience that exhilarates with bold visuals and an incredible soundtrack.”

Reverb Triple XP will be bringing a demo of Aaero to PlayStation Experience 2016 in Anaheim, California. The event runs on December 3rd and 4th at the Anaheim Convention Center. Aaero launches for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One in February 2017.
