- 12 of the world's best superbikes: Featuring bikes from top manufacturers including Yamaha, Ducati, Kawasaki, Honda, BMW, and more.
- Full Bikes Tour campaign: We've designed a new game mode and loads of events to help you get to grips with bikes and ultimately challenge you to master every superbike in the game.
- Unlimited Challenges: Create and compete in new challenges to show off and test your speed, agility, and skills with bikes.
- Personalized events: Create your own events on any track, in any mode, at any time, and with near limitless weather conditions.

One of Sony's Paris Games Week announcements may have been spoiled. Gematsu reports that a PlayStation 4 listing for something called "Driveclub Bikes" emerged this week on a European ratings board.
This rating, which has since been removed, was separate from the rating for Driveclub itself. A screencap is available above, courtesy of VideoGamer.com.
It remains to be seen if Driveclub Bikes is a new game or an expansion for the PS4 racing game. We may not have to wait long to find out, as Sony's Paris Games Week briefing starts today at 10 AM PDT.
For what it's worth, Driveclub director Paul Rustchynsky says on Twitter that he is "super excited" about Sony's Paris Games Week presentation. Sony itself has said its briefing will include new game announcements and "exciting updates" for existing titles.
We'll have all the news from the show as it's announced.
Back in August, Driveclub developer Evolution Studios teased that it was working on "big surprises" for the game, adding that Driveclub is "gearing up for another big year." Driveclub got off to a tough start, but has gone on to sell more than 2 million copies.
