MotorStorm is a racing video game series developed by Evolution Studios, Bigbig Studios and Virtuos and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. The titles are "off-road racing" games featuring different types of vehicles with their own strengths and weaknesses and tracks with different terrains which may either hinder the vehicles' handling, or improve it.
The central premise of the series is a gathering of off-road racing enthusiasts for an event entitled the "MotorStorm Festival". Participants in the MotorStorm Festival are not limited to their vehicle choice for any event and cutthroat racing is encouraged. Races allow for any combination of vehicles to be used together in a single event.
Due to the closure of Evolution Studios on March 22 2016, the future of the series is unknown. Codemasters has bought Evolution, saving the studio from shutting down.
