Ironwood Studios’ supernatural survival title Pacific Drive became a surprise hit upon release earlier this year. Now, Variety reports that James Wan’s Atomic Monster production company has acquired rights to develop Pacific Drive into a TV series.
The game created by Cassandra Dracott is “a retropunk-style driving and survival game set to an experimental electronic music soundtrack that challenges players to escape a surreal and abandoned exclusion zone with their car as their only companion in the dark and chilling world.”
The survival-horror driving sim puts players behind the wheel of a quirky station wagon stranded in a supernaturally-afflicted version of 1990s Cascadia, with players dealing with radioactive storms, sentient dumpsters and other dangerous anomalies.
James Wan and Atomic Monster’s Michael Clear and Rob Hackett will executive produce the TV series adaptation of the project along with Jeff Ludwig of The Menagerie Productions. The series has not been picked up by a streamer or network as of yet, but it’s still early in the development process.
Luis H.C. wrote in his 4-star review of the game, “It’s not just the mechanics that suck you in, however. From the heavily stylized recreation of the Pacific Northwest wilderness to the moody radio that keeps you company as you travel on lonely roads, it’s really easy to engage with this interactive master-class in atmosphere despite the general lack of traditional action.” And, “Of course, it’s often said that the greatest thing a work of art can do is leave you wanting more, and that is certainly the case with Pacific Drive.”
Fresh from being earning a nomination from The Game Awards this year, Pacific Drive most recently released a free Winter update package for fans.
The news comes on the heels of Atomic Monster’s “Teacup” that premiered this Fall, and the production company is already hard at work on “The Munsters” reboot series “1313.”
Stay tuned for additional details on Pacific Drive as they arrive.
