Released on February 22, 2024, Pacific Drive is a charming little success with its million copies sold within a year. This achievement was swiftly shared by Ironwood Studios, demonstrating that indie projects, which may initially seem obscure, can achieve widespread popularity. For a game developed by a team of just 20 people, this accomplishment is particularly noteworthy. It’s important to highlight that Pacific Drive has not only received critical acclaim and commercial success but has also garnered Hollywood’s attention, with filmmaker James Wan (Saw, Fast and Furious 7, The Conjuring) acquiring the licensing rights to adapt it into a TV series. While the timing for this screen adaptation is yet to be determined, Ironwood Studios has announced that a new expansion pack is set to release soon, further enhancing the player experience.
