Supertrucks bring Big-Rig challenge to Anki Overdrive

Anki have just announced a new line of vehicles for its smartphone controlled racing video-game, Anki Overdrive.

The new Anki Supertrucks (one word apparently) can be used in all the existing game-play modes but also add a new Truck Takeover mode where players battle to drive the hulking monsters to inflict damage on the diminutive cars.

As with all Anki vehicles, they come in physical form and race on a snap together track on the carpet, but the action is extended onto the smartphone screen that players use to control it.

The trucks come with a new set of weapons and computer opponent characters. They also look pretty gorgeous — apparently designed by the person responsible for the cars in Minority Report.

The new trucks are £59.99 and will be available on October 3rd. You will need an Anki Overdrive starter pack to use them.
