The game was originally planned for release in December 1998.[2] Dead in the Water was re-released for PSone Classics for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita.[3][4]

Reception

Previews for the game compared it to other racing games, such as Jet Moto and Twisted Metal.[2][12]

Dead in the Water received "mixed" reviews according to the review aggregation website GameRankings.[5] Next Generation said, "A decent-looking 3D polygonal game, Dead in the Water overall is a mixed bag, with the straight battle races being the ultimate lure. But in any case, steer clear of this shipwreck."[10]
