If you played with Hot Wheels as a kid and are looking for a reason to get back into it, you are in luck with the new Hot Wheels Unleashed gameplay trailer that was revealed yesterday on the milestone team YouTube Channel. For me personally, this game looks great as I am having a tough time winning any race in Forza Horizon 4 and maybe I need to take a step back out of the big leagues. Hot Wheels Unleashed was announced in February 2021 and is set to released on September 30th, 2021 build on the Unreal Engine for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Steam, and Nintendo Switch.
Their initial announcement on Feb 2nd, 2021:
Get ready to collect the world’s raddest cars, drift, boost, jump (and crash) on endless crazy tracks, unleash your creativity and challenge your friends and family on the couch. HOT WHEELS UNLEASHED™ is the fast-paced arcade racing game that will bring the traditional fun of Hot Wheels™ chaotic gameplay on all main gaming platforms
Milestone is not new to racing and has developed polished titles like Monster Energy Supercross, MotoGP, and Ride which were very successful and well-received by racing enthusiasts. The Skyscraper revealed really bring the hype train back full stream.
Updated on their Environments page under Skyscraper
Let’s bring the challenge to a whole new level! The building might not be finished yet, but you can already build your amazing tracks! Steel beams, electric cables and… the sky (!) will be your playground. Reach different floors through the elevator shaft or build your track outside and enjoy that breathtaking sunset! Just remember that sometimes the worst enemy is not the car behind you… it’s gravity!
I am personally very excited to brave the Hot Wheels Unleashed Skyscraper and hopefully, I won’t wreck my beautiful ride. You can watch the trailer below!
