As a seasoned gamer with a penchant for survival games and a soft spot for unique narratives, I can hardly contain my excitement about the upcoming television adaptation of Pacific Drive! Having spent countless hours navigating the perilous landscapes of Stalker-esque games, I am eager to see how this captivating title will be brought to life on the small screen.
According to Variety, James Wan’s production company, Atomic Monster, has secured the opportunity to transform Pacific Drive into a television show.
Created by Ironwood Studios, this game puts players in a role where they must survive within a bizarre forbidden zone using their car as their vital means of transportation. Launched in February, Pacific Drive received a nomination for ‘Best New Independent Game’ at The Game Awards 2024, won the award for ‘Best Gameplay’ at the BIG Festival, and was recommended by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association for the Nebula Awards’ reading list.
In the role of an executive producer, Wan will collaborate with Michael Clear and Rob Hackett from Atomic Monster, as well as Jeff Ludwig of The Menagerie Productions. As of now, the series doesn’t have a broadcasting network or streaming service confirmed.
Among the expanding roster of shows being developed by Atomic Monster are:
Pacific Drive is an engaging game that’s set within the fictional Olympic Exclusion Zone. It seamlessly combines survival elements with roguelike gameplay. In this title, players gather resources, enhance their vehicle, and traverse abnormalities in a treacherous, erratic environment. Critics have likened it to Stalker and applauded its tense atmosphere and immersive detail.
The Atomic Monster adaptation contributes to the increasing trend of television adaptations from video games, inspired by the successes of HBO’s The Last of Us and Amazon’s Fallout series.
In his critique for TopMob, Mark Delaney lauded Pacific Drive for its captivating ambiance and labeled it as an authentic RPG, or more specifically, a car-RPG. He described the experience of overcoming the game’s unexpected challenges as a thrilling journey akin to a rollercoaster ride on a perilous, winding path.
