THQ announced today that it will be releasing a new game called Baja on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 this coming August. In a nut shell, it is an off-road racing game that offers vast open worlds.

“With the level of detail in each vehicle, the vast open vistas and the most realistic off-road physics to date, Baja will provide an unparalleled racing experience,” said the company’s Vice President of Product Development Richard Browne.

Baja is being developed by the Phoenix, Arizona-based company 2XL Games. The following features were provided by THQ:

• More than 100 square miles of the toughest terrain Mother Nature has to offer, including the steepest mountains, thickest mud and deepest canyons ever created
• More than 40 vehicles in eight classes, including Trophy Trucks, 4x4s and buggies
• A full array of upgradeable options with hundreds of authentic parts that affect each vehicle’s performance
• Near-vertical Hill Climb challenges, head-to-head Open Class races, circuit races and the ultimate off-road endurance challenge: the Baja.
• Open worlds extend thousands of miles across all landscapes in races that can last up to four hours.
• Revolutionary vehicle physics deliver unprecedented life-like handling, and a support management system allows gamers to monitor and repair realistic vehicle damage as fenders fly, tires are blown, suspension is stressed and engines overheat.
• Support for four-player split screen multiplayer capability, 12-player online and LAN as well as multiple-screen panoramic view.
