TT ISLE OF MAN: RIDE ON THE EDGE 3

CONCEPT & MECHANICS

TT3 Isle of Man: Ride on the Edge is an open-world, highly simulative racing game set on the Isle of Mann, where the Tourist Trophy, an actual historical motorbike competition, takes place. 

After choosing their favorite rider from a roster of real Tourist Trophy riders, players are free to explore the Isle of Man, reproduced in all its glory. Scattered around the island’s roads, there are different kinds of POIs, the most important being “Unofficial Events”, a series of races that players need to go through to access the Tourist Trophy. 

Through a feature called “Journal”, exploring the Isle and competing in races unlocks a series of anecdotes and bits of information that delve deeper into the Isle of Mann and Tourist Trophy history.

In designing this game, the main objectives of the design team were:

• offer a challenging simulation that gives a real feel of the toughness of Tourist Trophy roads
  
• celebrate the history and uniqueness of the Tourist Trophy through the Journal feature
  
• give players a free space to relax and enjoy riding without the stress of a race driving around the island
  
• provide engaging side activities to test different types of riding skills
