Pacific Drive Revs Narrative Engine in PS5 Story Trailer | Push Square
Pacific Drive is one of the fresher, more intriguing prospects on the horizon, and though it was recently delayed into 2024, a new story trailer shown off at Gamescom's Future Games show has us anticipating a post-apocalyptic road trip of our own.
