The first #ScreenshotSaturday piece comes from Twitter user Alberto Mastretta who’s currently developing the game Apex Racing League with his brother, Charlie. In the clip above, you can scope out some of Apex Racing League’s charming pit-crew animations. According to the game’s website, Apex Racing League is a top-down racing game with 3D semi-isometric visuals.
When the game is complete, it’ll offer players the ability to race each other using a plethora of different car classes, all of which embody the world of motorsport. Players will be able to master different racing disciplines, compete in custom races, customize both their driver and their car, and even put together their own pit-stop strategies. What’s more, the game will reportedly have local multiplayer between 2-4 players.

According to the game’s description, Remnant: From the Ashes is a third-person survival game where up to four players must fight, adapt, and overcome various perils found in a series of diverse, deadly environments. If the style seems familiar, that’s because the game is being developed by the team at Gunfire Games who're also hard at work on Darksiders 3.
It’s definitely interesting to see Gunfire try their hand at a game like Remnant with dynamically-generated stages and strategic multiplayer survival.
