From the Creators of Art of Rally: Over the Hill Confirms Exact PC Launch Time for October 14
After winning over drift enthusiasts with Absolute Drift and delighting rally purists with art of rally, Canadian studio Funselektor is shifting gears. Partnering with Strelka Games, Dune Casu's team is ready to deliver its stylized open-world wilderness adventure.
The off-road exploration title Over the Hill officially launches on PC via Steam this Wednesday, October 14, 2026, at 11:00 AM EDT (3:00 PM UTC / 5:00 PM CEST).
Contemplative Wilderness Exploration in Vintage 4x4 Rigs
Staying true to the studio's minimalist aesthetic, Over the Hill trades tight rally stages for vast wilderness trails designed for unrestricted exploration. Players take control of classic vintage off-road rigs inspired by iconic utility vehicles from the 1960s through the 1980s.
Driving physics focus on deliberate momentum rather than arcade speed. Navigating deep mud ruts, rocky riverbeds, and slick snowpack requires patience and mechanical discipline.
Off-road enthusiasts will need to actively manage tire pressure, engage low-range transfer cases, and anchor winches to trees to climb out of treacherous terrain, echoing the mechanical depth celebrated across modern precision driving simulations.
Campfire Bivouacs and 4-Player Online Co-op
Conquering rough trails is only one part of the journey. Over the Hill features a full day-and-night cycle paired with dynamic weather patterns that alter traction across dirt and gravel roads.
When dusk settles, drivers can set up camp, light fires, and inspect topographic maps to plot their next route. The entire expedition can be tackled completely solo or alongside friends via four-player online cooperative multiplayer.
What About PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and Switch 2 Console Ports?
While PC players gain immediate access this week on Steam, console owners will have to wait a little longer. Funselektor has confirmed that dedicated editions for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2 are slated to arrive in 2027.
The countdown is ticking down on Steam, with digital gates opening worldwide right at 11:00 AM EDT this Wednesday.
