Rad Trailer for the Upcoming Video Game HOT WHEELS UNLEASHED
Like many of you, I grew up playing with Hot Wheels toy cars. I loved racing those things with my friends on our homemade cardboard tracks coming up with all kinds of crazy imaginative car stunts.
Well, now we have a whole new way to enjoy Hot Wheels! Milestone is developing a new video game titled Hot Wheels Unleashed, and the first cinematic trailer has been released. I’ve gotta say, this game looks freakin’ rad!
Andrew Chan, the Head of Digital Gaming at Hot Wheels owner Mattel, explained that the new game will give people the chance to rediscover the brand.
We continue to focus on engaging consumers with our brands through gaming platforms. Hot Wheels is all about encouraging the challenger spirit and Hot Wheels Unleashed brings that mission to life for gamers of all ages. Milestone’s expertise in racing game development has enabled us to transform the Hot Wheels brand into a compelling console and PC gaming experience for both current Hot Wheels fans and gamers who may be rediscovering the iconic brand.”
The Hot Wheels game will put players in control of different vehicles that make up what Mattel called an “extended choice of Hot Wheels vehicles” and they each have their own attributes and skins. It will also let players “drive the cars as if they were playing with the die-cast toys.”
Players will also be able to customize their own tracks through the game’s Track Editor feature. Those tracks can then be shared with other people in the community.
The game is also said to have a heavy collection angle with skins, track sets, cars of varying rarity, and other features. Hot Wheels Unleashed launches on September 30th and will be available for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One and Xbox Series X.
