Motorstorm, DiRT, that game with Ivan “Ironman” Stewart — these are among the elite of off-road racing titles, having set the bar ridiculously high for other games to follow. Disney, however, has its dirt-encrusted sights set higher by announcing Pure, an upcoming off-road racer that it claims will “redefine the off-road racing genre.”

In development for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC, the game is currently being dragged through the mud at Disney’s Brighton, England studio Black Rock, previously known as Climax Racing, a studio known for such racing franchises as Moto GP and ATV Offroad Fury. Even

with that experience, however, we’re not precisely certain how Disney’s plans reshape how we think about off-road racing, though it might have something to do with what it calls “breakneck racing” and “jaw-dropping aerial tricks,” all of which are apparently being overseen by stunt guru and ATV filmmaker Wes Miller. Still, we’ve read these sorts of claims before, and while the initial bath of media looks interesting it’s a good bet our jaws are in no danger of hitting the floor just yet.
