Goblintown Really Hard Driving Game Launches in Early Access

Buckle up, burger lovers and rage game fans! If you’ve ever screamed your lungs out while tumbling off a cliff in Getting Over It, or held your breath mid-air in Only Up, then Goblintown: Really Hard Driving Game might just be your next favorite gaming obsession. And guess what? It’s not just another indie driving game—it’s a chaotic blend of obstacle madness based on the weird and wacky world of the Goblintown NFT collection.

Let’s dive into everything you need to know about this strange, rage-inducing release now live in early access.

What Is Goblintown: Really Hard Driving Game?

At its core, Goblintown: Really Hard Driving Game is exactly what it sounds like—really, really hard. This isn’t your typical casual driving game. Here, you’re thrown into the rickety wobblewagon of a goblin delivery driver racing to deliver burgers to a customer named Pumplescroob.

Sounds simple? Think again.

The road is littered with absurd traps, deadly jumps, and impossible terrain. To survive this delivery mission, you'll need sharp reflexes, insane patience, and—believe it or not—a microphone. Why? Because yelling into your mic actually slows down time! Yes, you read that right. Your screams are not only valid—they’re a feature.

What Makes the Game So Unique?

Goblintown: Really Hard Driving Game brings together several fan-favorite mechanics from viral rage games and adds its own goblin twist:

• Scream-to-Slow Time: Seriously. Scream, and the game slows down.

• Boosting Mechanics: Gain short bursts of speed to leap over massive gaps.

• A Full-Length Track: From beginning to end, there’s a complete course to test your skills.

• Stat Tracking: See everything from your top speed to how long you’ve been screaming (yes, that too).

This early access version already feels like a full experience, but there's more coming soon—including character customization, new levels, biomes, leaderboards, and more.

How to Get It (and Save Money)

The game is currently in Early Access on both Steam and the Epic Games Store with a generous -34% launch discount, bringing the price down to just $9.89 until May 14. After that, the price returns to its base of $14.99, where it’s expected to stay even after the full release later in 2025.

Want to grab it now? Here’s how:

• Goblintown on Steam

• Goblintown on Epic Games Store

And yes, it works on Windows PCs. Steam Deck compatibility is unofficial for now, but a proper Deck-optimized release is in the works.

Goblintown in Real Life? Yes, Seriously.

Before launch, the game’s developers hosted a wild event in New York’s Union Square with an IRL McGoblinBurger truck pop-up. If you could beat the game on your first try (spoiler: no one did), you could win $10,000.

More of these interactive competitions are planned, including:

• PAX East (Boston, early May)

• DreamHack (Dallas, end of May)

So if you’re attending either, look for the Goblintown crew—and maybe even win some goblin gold (or at least a burger).

Wait, Isn’t This a Blockchain Game?

Surprisingly, no. While Goblintown: Really Hard Driving Game is based on the popular Goblintown NFT collection, the game itself is a web2 release—no crypto, no NFTs, and no blockchain integration. It’s built to be a game-first experience that anyone can enjoy, regardless of their knowledge (or lack thereof) of web3.

The Goblintown NFT project, for context, launched in May 2022 as a free mint collection of 10,000 goblins with no roadmap and no promised utility. It became infamous for its chaotic art, absurd humor, and complete lack of expectations. You can still find it today on Ethereum marketplaces like OpenSea, Magic Eden, and Blur, with a current floor price around 0.2747 ETH.

What’s Coming Next?

The developers plan to expand the game significantly during the Early Access period. Here’s what’s on the roadmap:

• 🎮 More Tracks with new obstacles and creative chaos

• 🏆 Leaderboards so you can compete with friends and strangers

• 🧙‍♂️ Character Customization to make your goblin truly yours

• 🌍 New Biomes to explore (and crash into)

The full release is expected before the end of 2025, though it’s highly dependent on player feedback. If you want to help shape the future of this delightfully painful game, now’s the time to jump in.

Final Thoughts: A Goblin Game Worth the Ride?

While it may not be a blockchain game in the technical sense, Goblintown: Really Hard Driving Game is a fascinating crossover of NFT culture and traditional gaming. It captures the raw, chaotic energy of its NFT origins while delivering a fun (and agonizing) gameplay experience anyone can enjoy.

And in an industry that often struggles to bridge the gap between web2 and web3, Goblintown shows that not everything needs to be on-chain to be connected to the culture.

So if you’re ready to rage, scream, and maybe laugh at your own pain—get in that wobblewagon and hit the road.
