Our take on Gravel
Rather than centering on one course format, Gravel splits off-road competition across four disciplines and frames progression as a six-episode televised championship. Its events range from checkpoint and lap races to arena contests, with terrain and obstacles playing a central role.
What is Gravel?
Gravel is an off-road racing game with four disciplines: Cross Country checkpoint races, Wild Rush lap races, Speed Cross events on real-world tracks, and Stadium races in real or fictional arenas.
Courses include deserts, islands, mountains, quarries, waterfalls, and other environments, with jumps, bends, debris, and uneven terrain shaping events. The game has accessible driving physics and supports offline and online modes against human opponents. Its Gravel Channel campaign is divided into six episodes, with head-to-head races against masters of the different disciplines. After the championship, a final race against the current titleholder determines whether the player can claim the Off-Road Master title.
