BrutalGamer Bringing you Brutally Honest feedback from today's entertainment industry.
Based on the Netflix show, Mattel and Gamemill’s Hot Wheels Let’s Race: Ultimate Speed will bring kid-focused racing action to consoles and PC.
The big, orange tracks are back
Now, don’t be confused. This new announcement from Mattel and developer Gamemill isn’t the next title in the recent series of Hot Wheels games. Instead, Hot Wheels Let’s Race: Ultimate Speed is inspired by the Netflix animated show.
That’s not to say that it won’t have some things in common with the aforementioned titles though. Orange tracks? Yeah, they’re still very much present. But eve so, the action that takes place on them is looking decidedly more skewed for the younger set. And again, that’d only make sense, since the show is aimed at kids.
And in that spirit, characters Coop, Spark, Mac, Brights, Axle, and Cruise will all be on board for Hot Wheels Let’s Race: Ultimate Speed. Naturally, so will vehicles like GT-Scorcher, Super Twin Mill, Roger Dodger, and Duck N’ Roll. These rides sound like they’ll vary nicely too, with each of them having “their own unique handling, abilities, and style”.
Players will race their way across a dozen tracks, all of which are based on the series, and face down bosses like Professor Rearview’s giant cobra, and a dragon. Speaking of, you’ll get a glimpse of the latter in the just-released trailer, which you can check out below.
An action-packed animated series for kids, Hot Wheels Let’s Race follows Coop and his next-gen racing friends as they attend a racing camp that always puts the pedal to the metal. All three seasons of Hot Wheels Let’s Race are now available on Netflix, where the series ranked as a Top 10 program on the platform in select countries each season.
Now the action shifts to consoles and PC with Ultimate Speed, where fans can race as Coop and crew to conquer wild tracks, face epic bosses, and build custom over-the-top tracks in a brand-new family-friendly racer.
Mattel press release
Hot Wheels Let’s Race: Ultimate Speed is zipping to the Switch, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC for release this fall. Look for it to pull onto the starting line on October 24th.
