Developer Milestone and publisher Mattel are happy to announce that their latest game, Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged, is coming out later this year.
Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged is the sequel to the critically acclaimed 2021 racing game Hot Wheels Unleashed. The first game was a huge success, thanks in part to its extensive user-generated content (UGC) features. Players can create their own liveries and tracks, which were shared with the community. Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged builds on this success by offering even more UGC options. Players can now create their own custom cars, tracks, and even game modes. This wealth of creative options is sure to keep players coming back for more.
We are truly delighted with the enthusiasm shown by the press and players toward the first Hot Wheels Unleashed, which became a global success that reached more than eight million players worldwide. Building on the solid foundation that granted us unanimous acclaim. With Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged, we decided to create a brand-new gaming experience to raise the bar for arcade fun even higher. Having a partner like Mattel by our side is a great reason to be proud, and we are ready to race even faster toward new shared goals.
