Renegade Kid's next title is ATV Wild Ride. Yes, it's totally not what you were expecting based on its track record with the Dementium series and Moon. The game is aiming to be the best ATV experience you can get on the DS with 24 tracks spanning the US, Thailand, England, Russia, Canada and Mexico, in addition to four-player multiplayer, 60 frames-per-second and the ability to perform dozens of "wild" tricks.

While a racing game may have been the last thing you were ever expecting, it's actually "been a dream" of both Jools Watsham and Gregg Hargrove, the Co-founders of Renegade Kid, to make a "fast-paced arcade racing game for the DS with the Renegade Engine."

They both wanted to make a racing title, they just weren't sure what type of theme to go with. That is until Jools played Black Rock Studio's racer Pure, which got him thinking: why there isn't there anything like this for the handheld? Jools went on to tell us that "there are only a few developers and publishers out there willing to put all of their effort into making great DS titles these days, which is a pity."

We'll have more on ATV Wild Ride including a preview and interview with Jools Watsham in the coming weeks. Until then, check out the world premiere video. ATV Wild Ride hits shelves sooner than you might think: it's out January 2011.

Called it, a racing title. Had the surprise ruined for me earlier, unfortunately. Fantastic trailer, really different from the usual style RK goes for. Actually quite excited for this game now.

Geoff Keighley is absolutely livid that you just world exclusive'd his face off.

World exclusive that's a day late considering many people read about this being ATV Wild Ride yesterday on Siliconera. But at least you have more info, so it's more like an ALMOST WORLD PREMIERE!

Looks a bit generic, but if the basic racing mechanics are tight, then I'll probably check it out.

Y'know what's a real good game? 1080 Snowboarding for the N64. I got a kthat kind of vibe from watching this trailer so I'm interested in seeing how this thing turns out. Never thought I'd say that about an ATV game.

Looks cool.
The logo for the game could use some work though...

All I can say is if it can channel the Wave Racer 64 feel.

Then I will give him my money.

Yeah, that logo cutting edge design from 1994. I don't get it, RK's graphics are usually pretty strong. In conclusion: FIX IT.

Nice.....Just sold my DSi for $150 bucks though. Didn't want to wait until 3DS came out to try and sell it and get a lot less for it. People on Ebay are Dumb.

I'll check this out on my 3DS in March though.

Was this done by the same people as Clerks: The Animated Series?

If the intention of this ad was self-parody to make it seem "meh" and like there's nothing "wild" about it. Well then, I'd say they did a pretty damn good job!

You know, after playing through and enjoying the first Dementium (Won it free from Destructoid!) and Moon, I have been pretty excited for the games that Renegade Kid has been putting out. I couldn't wait to get my hands on their 'son of Dracula' title and when it got canned, sadly, I reasoned with myself and decided 'maybe it wasn't that great, and maybe they're working on something even better!'...

But I don't need to see anymore than the gameplay shown in this trailer to know I'm not even remotely interested in playing ATV Wild Ride... skip to 44 seconds into the video and tell me you're looking forward to playing $30 for that. As sad as it is, this looks, at least to me, to be exactly the same as the hundreds of other nothing-new generic cart, BMX, or motocross racing games I've been avoiding since the PS1.

ATV Wild Ride will be launched at $19.99. Bargain!

@ RenegadeJools

...And now I feel like a jerk.

Not because it's bargain priced (or the foot in my mouth), but because I've enjoyed your previous games so much, I've become pessimistic and critical toward this game simply for being so seemingly dissimilar to your other work. So..un-Renegade Kid, if you will.

Even if this title isn't for me, I'm quite glad you're still making games for DS and I look forward to your next project with much excitement.

I understand where you're coming from, @Hell Hammer. No hard feelings. We know ATV Wild Ride is a strange title for Renegade Kid to release after our FPS titles. It is aimed towards a different audience for sure. We play lots of different games, and we like to make different types of games. It is our hope that those who are naturally interested in ATV Wild Ride enjoy it for what it is. If it's not your cup of tea, that's totally cool. We know it's impossible to please everyone.

"We know ATV Wild Ride is a strange title for Renegade Kid to release after our FPS titles. It is aimed towards a different audience for sure.' 'We know it's impossible to please everyone.'

Honestly, this is something as a video game player that is pretty easy to loose sight of.

I appreciate your work as a developer. I followed the pre-release info on the first Dementium, I loved Moon, looked forward to 'Son of' and was frustrated by it's cancellation, I've visited your blog on a couple of occasions, and I even came here today to find out about your new title annoucement.

I'm somewhat disappointed, but I do feel good knowing that even if it's not a game I'm interested in, a great developer is still out there making great games. And again, I honestly look forward, with great excitement, to Renegade Kid's future releases. Thank you sir(s).

Thanks @Hell Hammer, much appreciated. We'll be bringing some more-expected flavor to the 3DS eventually, as well as some not-so-expected surprises too. The 3DS era is something we're very excited about.
