Blasting onto the Nintendo Switch eShop next week is Skydrift Infinity, an arcade racer that'll have you flying and shooting your way through skies, canyons, and even volcanoes by the look of it.
Described as an "action-packed arcade game focusing on the experience of flying alone and with others," Skydrift Infinity offers a variety of game modes that'll have you taking to the skies. You'll find deathmatches, armed races, and "other armed competitions," all with one overarching rule: 'if you can't overtake them, shoot them down'. Lovely.
You'll be able to jump in either alone or with friends in local and online multiplayer, and you can also take a break from the frantic deathmatches with a mode that lets you explore each island featured in the game at your own pace.
Features:
- Six Power-ups! Capture up to two different powers in your plane’s arsenal, then collect upgrades to increase the strength of those existing powers.- Stunning Visuals: Race through scenic venues like the Grand Canyon, Alaskan Terrain and Hawaiian Islands, created with beautiful, vibrant colors.
- 8-person Multiplayer: Take your friends down online in this fast and furious battle.
- Splitscreen mode for local multiplayer with up to 4 players
The game launches on Switch on 29th July and will be available directly from the eShop for $14.99.
Will you be taking Skydrift Infinity for a spin?

Hard to tell if this is a sequel or a port of the Skydrift I played back in the 360 days. I remember it being decent fun, though.
Looks like it could be fun. I'm waiting for a review first though.
This actually looks pretty fun, but..what are friends?
I might keep an eye on this one, a few years back I played an old PC game GOG has called Slipstream 5000. This kind of reminding me of a modern version of that.
Neat! I like the mode where you can just fly around and explore. That’s a really cool idea I don’t think that has been done before. Sort of expands on those free play modes but it seems you might be able to just fly all over like Star Fox’s all range mode?
@Tedikuma to me it looks like a port with the DLC added. Hopefully this might lead to a physical release and/or a sequel.
I recall the original being pretty much DOA because it was so online-dependent. It's bad enough with "AAA" titles, but games by smaller developers that emphasize online multiplayer are lucky if their game has a shelf life of a full week.
Looks good and THQ's Switch support is great (even if you never quite know what you are going to get)
My only complaint about the original Skydrift was lack of split-screen, so sign me up for this one.
Looks fantastic, this would definitely satisfied my After Burner craze on the OLED.
Looks really fun and four player split screen pretty much seals the deal!
Looks the part but need a review.
The only true Skydrift is GENSOU Skydrift.
Star wars pod racing in the sky? But not quite fast enough for my tastes.
