THQ has announced a new off-road racing game for the Xbox 360 and PS3. Baja combines tough terrain and off-road vehicles in “the most realistic, edge-of-control racing game ever created.” Baja is scheduled to be released this August.

Edge-of-control racing

Dubbed by THQ to be “the most realistic off-road racing experience to date,” Baja is said to combine “the best elements of the real-world sport with the right balance of arcade fun.” The game challenges players to first build the ultimate off-road machine before conquering vast terrains.

Developed by 2XL Games (the core founding members of the MX vs. ATV franchise), Baja will see players traversing vistas, cliffs, canyons, mud and mountains in over 100 square miles of unforgiving terrain. Players will need to test their mettle in different challenges including hill-climb, head-to-head open class races and circuit races as well as the Baja, the off-road endurance challenge.
