Road Redemption, the unofficial spiritual successor to Road Rash , has received a new gameplay video detailing graphical improvements and projectile weapons.

The video, which you can check out below, shows how the project is looking since it successfully hit its Kickstarter target last year . This one reveals the uzi and grenade launcher, though a future video will offer insight into the state of alternate biker models, additional motorbikes and two-to-four player splitscreen.While no official release date has been announced for the project, it's expected to hit PC, Mac, Linux, Xbox 360 and Wii U before the year is out.Last year, Road Rash creator Dan Geisler expressed his desire to launch his own Kickstarter for a successor . "I'm ready to make a better one now. I miss playing it too. If there is enough interest, I'll do a Kickstart on it,” he said at the time, though nothing has materialised since.
