Over the Hill, the game that lets you take control of a 4x4 and set off to navigate your way around some off-road treks, finally has a release date. The game gave us a glimpse at its chill formula with a Steam Next Fest demo, and now it's nearly ready to show the entirety of itself as we have a full release date.

Since its reveal, and as people have grown more and more aware of the game where you are a little car on a big journey, Over the Hill has garnered more than a million wishlists. In the trailer below, we see that Over the Hill launches on Steam on the 14th of October. That's just a little over two months until we get our hands on the full game.

Over the Hill isn't about going anywhere fast, but after spending some time in the demo, it clearly has its charm in its chill, road trip vibe. Playing with friends also makes the game much more fun, as you get to help each other out with big manoeuvres by hooking onto each other's cars and swinging your way up a mountain.
