Hoverboard riding is coming to you in the near future. While that statement might be true in the real world, this instance is about a highly-anticipated title for the Nintendo Switch. Star Overdrive rode its way onto the scene in a Nintendo Direct in August 2024, with many fans expressing their interest in the open-world action-adventure game. Today, Italian developer Caracol Games and publisher Dear Villagers announced the title will be available to play on April 10, 2025.
Back when the game was announced, the developers cited Nintendo’s very own The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild as one of its biggest inspirations. With its open-world concept and puzzle solving, the title differentiates itself with its uncharted alien planet setting and physics-based hoverboarding. Over time, players will get to customize their hoverboard, as well as adjust its speed, handling and gravity to match their personal playstyle. The game offers vast landscapes to cruise upon, giving you ample space to perform gravity-defying tricks.
