Double-clutch: Turn-based multiplayer racing sequel Racer Feud 2 is in the works

The original Racer Feud used a lot of default iOS app chrome, which was… quaint.

Long-time readers may recall Racer Feud, a turn-based motorsport game for iOS from 2012 that was based (a little too closely, at first) on the classic tabletop game Formula De. Even with a slightly wonky UI and no single-player, the game garnered a small but loyal fan base — it was even being discussed in the comments of yesterday’s Motorsport Manager review.

I spoke yesterday with developer André Lind, and he told me that Racer Feud 2 is in the works. “It’s really, really early in development,” he said — so don’t expect an ETA anytime too soon.

“What I can tell you though is that it’s a complete rewrite of Racer Feud,” Lind tells us, “and it’s taking full advantage of what iOS 8 can do, sporting Apples new 2D game engine. So yeah, it will be iOS 8 only!” If you loved the original Racer Feud, it’s time to ditch that iPhone 3G.

Lind also said that player-created race teams will be a feature, as will an in-game tournament system. Motorsport Manager developer Christian West has told us before that multiplayer is unlikely for his game, so Racer Feud 2 might be your best bet for competitive rubber-burning in the near future.
