Happily enough for fans of racing games, there’s a healthy variety of offerings out there for you to get behind the wheel in. Milestone’s Hot Wheels Unleashed in particular was a fan favourite upon its launch in 2021, having sold over 2 million units as of earlier this year, and it seems there might be more of that in the pipeline.
According to a report published on Dealabs by prominent leaker billbil-kun, Italian developer Milestone is working on a sequel to the 2021 game, titled Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 Turbocharged, that’s set to be announced in the near future. It’s uncertain whether the game will be available for PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch, which means there’s a good chance it ends up being current-gen exclusive.
The game will also allegedly come with three editions available, according to the leak, with a Deluxe Edition also packing in a season pass and four DLC packs, and an Ultimate Edition coming with two season passes and eight DLC packs. Pre-ordering the former will net you two additional DLC packs, while pre-ordering the latter will come with four.
Though a specific date for that announcement hasn’t been mentioned in the leak, one would assume that with a number of major showcases and events coming up – with Summer Game Fest set for June 8 and Xbox Games Showcase for June 11 – the racing sequel’s unveiling might be around the corner, especially if concrete details on its editions and pre-orders have leaked as well.
Hot Wheels Unleashed is available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Read our review of the game through here.
