NASCAR Heat 4 Announced For September

Will there be a fourth NASCAR Heat? The answer is yes, and the answer to the second question is that it’s coming in the fall. What does developer 704 Games have planned this time?

“NASCAR Heat 4 will be the best NASCAR console game we’ve released to date,” said Colin Smith, president of 704Games. “Over the years, NASCAR video games have built a large and passionate fan base, and when developing this game we made sure many of their voices were heard. We have incorporated a number of features and improvements recommended by the NASCAR Heat community, and we look forward to delivering a better game to fans in September. And we’re thrilled to have two legends of the sport on the cover.”

He’s talking about Kevin Harvick and Tony Stewart, who both appear on the NASCAR Heat 4 boxart, unveiled this weekend. Harvick won his first Cup title in just his first season with Stewart-Haas racing, and Stewart has won three Cup titles so far — one of just nine people to do so.

“It’s an incredible honor to represent the Stewart-Haas racing team on the NASCAR Heat 4 cover alongside Tony,” said Harvick. “My passion for dirt racing is well documented, so to play such a big part in that experience in NASCAR Heat 4 is exciting,” adds Stewart.

As far as new features are concerned, early details are light, but we can confirm a deeper career mode that will let you manage your own team of racers, the ability to start in any of the four series in the game, and the addition of Stewart’s own team, Smoke Racing, alongside his No. 14 car.

NASCAR Heat 4 will be out for Playstation 4, XBox One and PC this September.
