The gaming community found out about a number of next-generation titles during Sony’s “Future of Gaming” livestream last month, including Lucid Games’Destruction AllStars. Made by the creators ofSwitchbladeandNeed for Speed Payback,Destruction AllStarsis a car combat game for PS5focused around a creative cast of characters trying to destroy one another, and new screenshots posted by Lucid Games today show off some of the destruction that is possible.
Four screenshots posted to Twitter, all captured directly onPS5, show different wrecks in the monster truck-style arena called the London Thunderground: Vehicles being flipped over one another, thrown into walls, and decimated in head-on collisions. One image also shows off unique character powers in the PlayStation exclusive title, with an individual leaping over a car using magenta-colored lightning.

The developer has shared some information about the upcoming game on social media following its announcement, such as it having single and multiplayer modes, as well as all characters and vehicles having unique abilities to cause “destruction and mayhem” in the arena, with players able to steal new cars if their own gets destroyed. TheseDestruction AllStarsscreenshots make a case for how impressive the PS5 will be at handling complex graphics through particle effects and dynamic lighting, which is also good news for other titles likeGuerrilla Games' highly-anticipatedHorizon Forbidden West.
There are a lot of comparisons that can be made forDestruction AllStarsto get a grasp on what it entails, with character designs and team-based scenarios reminiscent ofFortniteorOverwatchalongside gameplay that looks like a dangerous take onRocket League, which will become a free-to-play gamethis summer. However, there’s a lot that has not been unveiled about the next-generation title, including its potential release window.
That being said, consumers are still in the dark on when Sony’s PlayStation 5 will be available to purchase, and on how much the main and digital-only versions of the console will cost. A recent discovery in the code for PlayStation’s website suggestsPS5 pre-orders may be limited to one per person, but not much else is known beyond that.
As it gets closer to the holiday season, more is being done to show off the console and its games.Geoff Keighley recently tested the DualSense controlleras part of his Summer Game Fest, for instance, and screenshots for titles likeDestruction AllStarsshould get potential buyers excited for what will be possible on PS5.
