NAMCO BANDAI Games America today announced RIDGE RACER UNBOUNDED will be released on March 6, 2012 in North America for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Windows PC. This latest entry in the RIDGE RACER series offers full environmental and vehicular destruction, arcade handling and drifting elements, and a new car selection including powerful vintage muscle cars. The game is being developed by Helsinki-based development studio Bugbear Entertainment Ltd.

In single player mode, players attempt to impress Kara Shindo, leader of the Unbounded gang, to develop street cred in Shatter Bay through a series of high-speed races. Domination Race encourages players to destroy everything in sight including rival cars, the environment and other traffic on the road. Survival Race gives the player one car and one chance to avoid destruction to finish in first place. Additional game modes include action focused on just taking out other cars, drifting and dueling.

In addition to the single player mode, players can take their driving skills online against other players in several multiplayer modes.

RIDGE RACER UNBOUNDED will be available in North America on March 6, 2012, and in Europe on March 2, 2012.
