Project X Racing is an upcoming racing video game that will be released for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Nintendo 3DS, PlayStation Vita, and PC digital download. The game's development staff contains members of Bizarre Creations, developer of the Project Gotham Racing series of racing video games. The game will contain both aerial and underwater travel, similarly to Mario Kart 7. The development team claims they developed the idea prior to Mario Kart 7, despite this game's later release. The development team actually cites Wave Race and Hydro Thunder as their inspirations for the water-based racing segments. The game is scheduled for release in late 2012.
