TT Isle of Man: Ride on the Edge

TT Isle of Man: Ride on the Edge for PC, PS4 and XONE is a racing game dedicated to a popular motorcycle racing series held annually since 1907 on the Isle of Man. Kylotonn Games, a French studio known for multiple racing games, including Truck Racer, Motorcycle Club, and WRC 5, the fifth and the final installment of the popular racing series, developed the game.

Story

The titular event, Isle of Man TT Race (known as Isle of Man TT Festival from 1989 onwards) is one of the most prestigious motorcycle circuits, taking place annually from 1907 on the Isle of Man, a self-governing dependency between Ireland and Great Britain. Between 1949 and 1976 the event was a part of FIM Motor-cycle Grand Prix World Championship, known as the World Series of motorcycle racing. As a result of the controversies regarding the safety of the event, the Isle of Man series had been removed from the championship schedule, retaining its fame as one of the most dangerous cyclical sport events that is notorious for taking the lives of 251 participants throughout its duration.

Mechanics

The game introduces a virtual rendition of Snaefell Mountain Course, a 37 mile road-racing circuit led through public roads of the Isle that are closed for the duration of the race. Thanks to the official license of the event, administered by the Isle of Man Department of Economic Development, TT Isle of Man: Ride on the Edge enables the players to assume the role of real participants of the race, supported by their teams and bikes of choice.
