     **WipEout 2048** is an original anti-gravity combat racing video game developed by [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psygnosis|Studio Liverpool]] for the PlayStation® Vita. It features brand new content in the form of 10 original tracks and 20 ships, a new single player campaign and online campaign, as well as content from [[wipeout_series:wipeout_hd|WipEout HD]] in the form of Cross-Play Multiplayer and later Downloadable Content that added the HD and Fury campaigns into the game. It is the eighth mainline installment in [[:wipeout_series|the WipEout series]], and was mostly well-received by reviewers, though criticized by fans for lack of several long-standing features present in previous games. **WipEout 2048** is an original anti-gravity combat racing video game developed by [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psygnosis|Studio Liverpool]] for the PlayStation® Vita.
