Gabriel Stanford-ReisingerWhile the legacy vehicular combat genre within the PlayStation space tends to be fondly remembered thanks to the Twisted Metal franchise, Sony had more than just one motorized mayhem maker. So, let’s ask this — how many remember the duology that was London Studio‘s Hardware: Online Arena and Hardware: Rivals? We’d hedge our bets not a lot, but for those that do remember it, TankRat might be the answer to a long-standing itch you may have been forced to ignore.
TankRat is a roguelite with a motorized flair that sees you traveling through the ECA’s Dead Zone, stripping enemies down to upgrade your vehicle. We suppose if you want a more modern game to compare it to, Pacific Drive looks to fit the ticket in a fair few ways.
Do you remember that old London Studio IP? Will you be picking up TankRat when it launches in spring 2026? Let us know below!
