Anki has announced that Anki Overdrive, its new racing game, will begin shipping on September 20 in the US, Canada, UK, and Germany. Like its predecessor, Anki Drive, this is a racing game with a twist: It features a physical track that has toy cars racing along it.
In addition to returning game modes like the self-explanatory Race and Battle (cars can be equipped with virtual weapons, as in a kart-racing game), Overdrive introduces two new modes. Time Trial has you trying to set the best lap time possible, while King of the Hill tasks players with being in first place for the longest amount of time.
Also new to Overdrive is a modular track. With the pieces included in the starter kit, you're able to build eight different tracks. This number grows further by buying expansion kits; what start out as relatively simple arrangements can turn into something much more elaborate, like what you see below.
Overdrive is played using a mobile device by downloading the Overdrive app. The cars can be (virtually) customized with new weapons and upgrades, and Anki--which is a robotics and AI company, rather than a game developer--claims the AI "allows each car to fully control itself on the track and use diverse strategies to fight to the finish."
later this year, but it comes at a cost. In addition to the iOS or Android device each player needs, the starter kit is priced at $150. This comes with 10 track pieces, two cars, a charging platform, and a tire-cleaner. Unspecified new modes and features will be released for free post-launch, and the game supports tracks and cars from Anki Drive.
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare's Supremacy DLC, the latest map pack to come to the game, is available now for map packs. There's still another content drop, called Reckoning, planned for Advanced Warfare. Activision hasn't said anything about the upcoming map pack, but keep an eye on GameSpot for news as it becomes available.

Iwata went on to say that Nintendo is currently holding discussions with internal and external developers about "how to continue creating software for Wii U and 3DS" after the launch of the NX.
"As for Wii U, we will continue to make efforts, as it is a priority within the company to think about how we can satisfy the consumers who purchased this system to the maximum extent possible," he added.
Also during the shareholder meeting, Iwata acknowledged that the Wii U has struggled, saying to an investor, "I cannot disagree with your indication that Wii U is experiencing the most unfavorable situation."
But he hopes that things can be different for the NX.
"I will not share details on NX today but with regard to the launch of Nintendo 3DS and Wii U not necessarily having progressed well and not acquiring sufficient support from software publishers, we intend to offer NX through a Nintendo-like solution," he said. "Thank you for understanding that we are making various considerations and preparations in order to avoid what happened with the previous generations."
