Milestone, a leading global racing game developer, and Mattel, Inc. have unveiled an exciting new gameplay trailer for Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 – Turbocharged. The highly anticipated sequel will be available for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, starting from October 19th. Packed with innovative gameplay mechanics, diverse terrains, and a wide range of vehicle types and categories, Hot Wheels Unleashed™ 2 promises to deliver an exhilarating experience for all Hot Wheels® enthusiasts.
Enhanced Gameplay Mechanics Introduce New Strategic Elements
In Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 – Turbocharged, speed alone will not guarantee victory. The game introduces two new moves that revolutionize gameplay and add an extra layer of depth to the competition. With the power of boost, players now have the ability to execute Jump or Double Jump maneuvers at any given moment. These new actions offer strategic advantages such as overtaking opponents and navigating through tight spaces by avoiding obstacles. Additionally, these moves allow players to discover shortcuts and access previously unreachable sections of the track, enhancing both their racing skills and overall experience.
Another exciting addition is the Lateral Dash, a brand-new maneuver that enables players to swiftly shift their vehicle to the left or right, colliding with opponents in the process. This strategic move can be used to force opponents out of bounds or to bounce within the confines of the orange plastic track. By combining these new abilities with the beloved boost and drift mechanics from the previous game, Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 offers players a wide array of opportunities and expands the possibilities for strategic decision-making, allowing them to interpret each race and track in their own preferred way.
Five New Environments Provide Thrilling Racing Experiences
Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 – Turbocharged takes the fun to the next level by introducing five distinct and completely new environments. Players will be transported to an expansive Arcade reminiscent of the bygone era of coin-operated games, a Backyard transformed into a thrilling racing arena, a Mini Golf Course nestled within a Wild West township, a Museum featuring reproductions of dinosaurs and other fossil artifacts, and a Gas Station housing a once tranquil diner serving juicy hamburgers. Additionally, the game will include the Track Room, a special empty environment designed for players who wish to unleash their creativity and design their own unique tracks in a neutral space.
These diverse environments offer a dynamic and immersive racing experience, with some tracks taking place exclusively indoors or in the open air, while others seamlessly transition between both settings. The variety of surfaces found in each environment significantly impacts the handling of vehicles, forcing racers to adapt their skills and carefully select the most suitable vehicle for each race. This ensures a thrilling and strategic experience for all players.
Expanded Launch Lineup with Iconic Vehicles
Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 – Turbocharged presents an expanded launch lineup, featuring a staggering collection of 130 iconic vehicles from the Hot Wheels universe. The game introduces all-new vehicle classes such as ATVs and Motorcycles, adding to the excitement and variety. Each vehicle possesses a unique style and character based on its category. For instance, vehicles in the Rocket category offer unmatched speed on straightaways, while those in the Balanced category provide a perfect blend of speed and maneuverability. The Swift category offers a lighter and fiercely competitive option, whereas the Drifter category allows players to master corners with professional finesse. Furthermore, the Heavy-Duty category features colossal and robust vehicles, while the Off-Road class represents the ideal choice for conquering the most challenging off-track terrains.
