Salve Games and QUByte Interactive announce Music Drive: Chase the Beat, a driving action driving game coming to PC via Steam and to consoles in Q3 of this year. It sounds like this includes a fight over who controls the radio, but the music in the title refers to the game's McGuffin, stolen music you must recover. There's no new announcement trailer, but this one from last year resembles the Steam listing, showing throwback gameplay with low poly models and simple textures. The game's title seems to demand attention to its soundtrack, which is indeed mentioned in the announcement:
In Music Drive: Chase the Beat, you’ll take control of two characters - Tina and Tunner - in a high-octane mission to recover stolen hard drives. But these aren’t just any drives: they contain unreleased tracks that a gang plans to use to monopolize the music scene.
Tina is the most skilled getaway driver in the neighborhood. Tunner is a sharpshooter with flawless aim. With this unstoppable duo, no mission is too tough!
Featuring an original soundtrack by Brazilian rapper NP Vocal, Music Drive isn’t just a game - it’s a cultural statement that celebrates the power of the favela communities through music. Into urban beats? Then this intense journey full of powerful social messages and representation is made for you!
The project also gains a personal and authentic touch, with the lead developer coming from the outskirts himself, reinforcing the commitment to originality and honoring cultural roots.
