The last major update for the Wipeout-like anti-grav racer BallisticNG is here, bringing with it new content and enhancements to existing features. The developers have said they're moving on from the game, as development on it will be sunset as they look to their next project. We'll still see some smaller updates and some paid DLC, but this is now the last major update for the racing game.

With the update there's two new tracks, and a whole lot of upgrades for online play including a new rollback netcode implementation. Multiplayer was expanded too with new game mode support, random ship variants for bots, and just online play that should work a whole lot better.

I love BallisticNG, brilliant game and if you're a fan of Wip3out (it's my favourite game series of all time personally) then you'll love this.

Also thanks to the modding community for this game you can literally get every single wip3out track and ship ever created and put into BallisticNG, that's worth the price alone.

I've had many hours of linux powered couch versus gaming in BNG with my friends. Absolutely love it.
