Hot Wheels Unleashed is real and coming this September

A few weeks back the Microsoft Store leaked a new Hot Wheels game, and now we know that it was a legit listing as Milestone have released the first trailer for Hot Wheels Unleashed, check it out.

Gamers can get ready to drift, boost, jump and crash on Hot Wheels’ iconic orange tracks in various single player game modes. Gamers can also challenge friends in multiplayer races, both online and offline, leveraging a split screen mode.

“We continue to focus on engaging consumers with our brands through gaming platforms,” said Andrew Chan, Head of Digital Gaming, Mattel. “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.”

“Like many other team members who worked on the game, I’ve been playing with Hot Wheels since I was a child, and today I’m still a hungry Hot Wheels fan and collector,” said Michele Caletti, Executive Producer, Milestone. “This is the reason why we’re all so committed in delivering the purest and most authentic Hot Wheels gameplay experience ever in a videogame. We owe it to the Hot Wheels community and to our inner children.”

You may have spotted in the trailer, but the game will also allow you to create your own tracks, giving you the option to speed around on custom circuits, which is a core part of any Hot Wheels experience. This is the first time that we have seen Hot Wheels in game form, since Forza Horizon 3 and in their own console game since 2013.

The game is set to release this September, on the 30th to be exact and will hit all the platforms, Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
