Hello everybody,
I’m Tony Buckley, Game Director for WipEout HD and I’m pleased to announce that the team here at Studio Liverpool have been busy working on a new expansion pack for your favourite anti-gravity racer.
And what’s more, it is set to be given its first public showing at this week’s E3 expo, so if you’re lucky enough to be attending, make sure you stop by and try it out!
The WipEout HD Fury expansion pack will increase the content of your current game with 8 new tracks, 13 new ship models and 3 new game modes, 2 of which will be available for online play! In addition there will be new trophies to attain, a re-styled front-end and a selection of new & improved multiplayer functionality!
The Eliminator game mode will allow you to release all that pent-up aggression as you use the full arsenal of Wipeout weaponry to destroy your opponents. Forget those racing lines; this is all about destruction, with the victor being the first to reach the target score!
Zone Battle is about risk and reward! Acceleration is automatic as you swoop over zone pads to fill your zone bar. Your choice is whether to use the bar to increase your speed and boost your ship ever closer to the target zone or absorb it to replenish vital lost energy. Warning, avoid the ‘zone barriers’, obstacles left on the track by your opponents as they boost towards the target zone, hitting these can literally destroy your hopes of victory!
Our Detonator mode introduces a brand new ship model to the game that will test both your piloting skills and your shooting accuracy as you accelerate through as many as 14 stages. Score points by destroying the mines that have been strewn along the track and take out the bomb on each stage to earn additional points. The more accurate you are the more points and bonuses you will score!
Just like the original WipEout HD, all the new content will be released in glorious 1080p resolution and will run at a smooth 60fps.
Take a sneak peek at a selection of screenshots.
Remember, Wipeout HD is available exclusively from PlayStation Store so check it out in readiness for the release of the Fury expansion pack coming this summer!

Big WipEout fan here. Bought my original ps1 just for the 1st WipEout. Glad to see more tracks coming, and the ones listed are all good! Amphiseum is perfect for eliminator. Would like to see some Wip3out tracks remastered in future (think i saw Talons Reach on the list). Also would like to see the race customisation options available for offline racebox too. Keep up the good work guys!

Sounds like a great update is on the way and I’ll be buying it, as long as its not too pricey!!??
I did fid the game a bit too hardcore for me, couldn’t get many trophies at all, then moved onto another game.
So this will give me a good reason to get back into Wipeout HD!

Dear Tony Buckley,
Can you please make this game a little easier?
I think it’s a great game, but it’s way too difficult. I can only play the first 3 levels. Higher levels are unreachable for me.
This is a bit frustrating and i’d like to see the rest of the game.
Please add a ‘very easy’ AI option, so it’s possible for me to win some races.
Thank you!
