Way back in 2015 R8 Games launched Formula Fusion into Early Access on Steam. Over the course of two years they worked on the game and then eventually it exited Early Access in 2017. Since then the developers have been hard at work on a home console rendition of the game, as well as an overhaul of the PC version. To go along with all of the new changes they made to the game since 2017, they decided to give the futuristic racer a name change from Formula Fusion to the more mundane and less descriptive, Pacer.
