Ride to Hell: Route 666 release date on XBLA, PSN, and Steam

Ride to Hell: Route 666 will have a summer time release date on XBLA, PSN and Steam, announced the gameâ€™s publisher, Deep Silver. A companion game to Ride to Hell: Retribution, 666 will have you beef up your pack of road warriors, provide them with the right gear and take them to the streets in a merciless battle for every mile of the legendary Route 66.

Tactics are essential when up against a colorful cast of enemies. Players will be able to bark orders at their fearless gang members to bring them into the right formation on-the-fly with easy, accessible controls. Clever tactics will be rewarded, opening up enemy defenses and allowing you to get in on the action: as the leader of this lawless bunch, you can support your warriors at the front line or issue instructions from the back.

Pick up and play action controls allow the players to get involved in the fight at any time. Youâ€™ll also be recruiting new members to join your gang, with each one bringing their own special abilities to a fight, from big bad bruisers to sultry medics.

Ride to Hell: Route 666 is set within the Ride to Hell universe, a world of bare-knuckle violence, and rip-roaring motorcycles. Later this year the setting will be extended by two further titles featuring the unique and incomparable biker lifestyle; Ride to Hell: Retribution and Ride to Hell: Beatdown.

Ride to Hell: Retribution tells the story of a lone rider, Jake Conway, a man with either a gun in his hand or a girl on his lap (and on more than one occasion both!). Heâ€™s on a merciless path of revenge against a brutal biker gang called The Devilâ€™s Hand, armed to the teeth with an arsenal of deadly weapons to enact his vengeance on foot and on bike. The only law Jake answers to is his own.
