If you loved Hot Wheels as a kid and miss the nostalgia of collecting and racing them, you can now do it in a whole new way when Hot Wheels Unleashed launches this September. Players can race using over 60 real Hot Wheels cars in the upcoming game coming to all major platforms.
For those who have always wanted to race in The Batmobile, The Delorean, The Party Wagon (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), K.I.T.T (Knightrider), or even Snoopy's Barnstormer, now is your chance. You may be racing at micro-size but all the thrills are still very much there, as seen in the trailer.
Hot Wheels has been a staple for 53 years and continues to go strong. Recently, it combined the magic of racing the mini die-cast cars with Mario Kart by releasing a physical version of Rainbow Road. The game will also include cars from real-world manufacturers.

You'll be able to upgrade your car using the game's Rarity System. Players will be tasked with collecting and dismantling the cars they obtain to improve their own racer. According to this GamePress's release, there will be secret ways to upgrade your vehicle once a player discovers them.
Pre-orders for Hot Wheels Unleashed are open now with a retail price of $49.99 USD. Now that another new racing game is about to make its mark, maybe Nintendo will heed the call and release Mario Kart 9. The now four-year-old game may have received a recent update, but nothing else has been added.
Whether you love collecting or racing, get ready to relive your childhood and experience the magic of Hot Wheels all over again when the game launches on September 30, 2021.
