Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 Has Been Announced

Milestone has announced that it is releasing Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 very soon for PC and consoles.

Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 is coming out on October 19th, 2023 for the PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch platforms. You can read more from the press release details down below.

VEHICLE CATEGORIES, ENVIRONMENTS, AND GAMEPLAY MECHANICS

Hot Wheels Unleashed™ 2 – Turbocharged will launch with over 130 vehicles, including the debut of motorbikes and ATVs. Stock, Powered, and Ultimate vehicle categories will differentiate performance, while players will be able to further customise their driving style using skill points to purchase specific perks and assemble their ideal custom build.

Five distinct environments await players in Hot Wheels Unleashed™ 2 – Turbocharged, each with unique racing surfaces that impact vehicle performance for a more dynamic match experience. Vehicles will also interact with several objects both on and off the track, making races even more unpredictable.

Along with the greater diversity of vehicles and environments that open up more dynamic and strategic racing scenarios, daring driving and manoeuvres skills are tested with the addition of two new abilities – dash and jump. Lateral dashing will allow for tactical impacts against opponents, obstacle dodging, and daring overturns until the finish line, while players will also be able to perform dramatic jumps anytime and anywhere. With the press of a button, drivers will have new opportunities to overtake rivals, uncover hidden shortcuts, and discover new track sections. These innovations, alongside the drift and boost features already present in the first game, ensure that each race offers a unique and thrilling experience while giving players more control over their fate.

NEW GAME MODES AND ONLINE FEATURES

Hot Wheels Unleashed™ 2 – Turbocharged will feature a variety of new game modes that add a fresh layer of fun and challenges both online and offline, including events that push drivers’ skills to the limit or teach them how to master the art of drifting and avoiding crashes with speed and precision. The fan-favourite, two-player split-screen mode is back to fuel exciting duels on the couch, while a number of improvements, including the ability to create a party with friends and the addition of cross-play*, will ignite the online multiplayer experience.

AN ENHANCED, STORY-DRIVEN CAMPAIGN

A story-driven career mode starring four original characters is another highlight addition to Hot Wheels Unleashed™ 2 – Turbocharged. Each character’s background and personality will be presented through animated cutscenes that will immerse players in a captivating narrative, making their journey into the world of Hot Wheels Unleashed™ 2 – Turbocharged truly unforgettable.
