In a gritty cyberpunk-inspired world dominated by organised crime clans, emerging A.I., and a population obsessed and controlled by the spectacle of Zero Gravity Racing we follow Theo Bazarov, a disgraced Zero Grav racer in debt to one of the world's largest crime clans. Forced into an opportunistic suicide mission when a terrorist EMP attack turns the city into the world’s largest and most dangerous Zero Grav racing track and reliant on a sassy, unstable internal A.I. called IRIS, Theo is forced to encounter some of the continent’s most colourful characters on his journey to pull off an impossible heist. Unable to trust his own mind and the motives of those around him while dealing with a crippling synthoid-narco addiction, Theo will have to take his driving and his sanity closer to the edge than ever before if he is to get out alive.
Created by Lewis Carter and the award-winning team behind The Dex Legacy, BURNOUT is a high-octane drag race across an original new sci-fi world.
