Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged will launch with over 130 vehicles, including the debut of motocycles and ATVs. Stock, Powered, and Ultimate vehicle categories will provide varied driving experiences, while players will be able to further customize their driving style using skill points to earn specific perks and assemble their ideal custom build. Each vehicle class has its own unique style and feel, with each playing differently. For example, vehicles in the Rocket category deliver unmatched speed on straightaways, while those in the Balanced category offer a perfect blend of speed and maneuverability. The Swift category presents a lighter and fiercely competitive option, while the Drifter is perfect for mastering corners with professional finesse. In contrast, the Heavy Duty category features colossal and robust vehicles, and the Off-Road class represents the ideal choice for conquering the most challenging off-track terrains.

Along with the greater diversity of vehicles and environments, which open up more dynamic and strategic racing scenarios, drivers’ skills will be tested with the addition of two new abilities to the Unleashed series – dash and jump.

With the power of boost, players will be able to Jump or Double Jump at any moment. With a boosted hop, racers can fly over their enemies, avoid obstacles, and navigate tight spaces. Racers who flex their creative muscles can even use this trick to find new shortcuts or reach new sections of the track.

Alongside jumps, Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged is introducing the Lateral Dash, which gives players the chance to use strength instead of speed. Through this maneuver, players can collide with cars on either flank to force opponents off the track or bounce them against a track’s barriers. Lateral Dash and Jump open up vast new options for racers in Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged, and when paired with the game’s boost and drift mechanics, give players a new way to race.

These innovations, alongside the drift and boost features already present in series, ensure that each race offers a unique and thrilling experience while giving players more control over their finishing place every race.

Racers can take these new maneuvers and their already radical racing skills to Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged’s five brand-new environments. Blaze across the sticks in an old-fashioned Arcade, tear up grass in the Backyard of a family home turned racing arena, kick up dust in a Wild West-inspired Mini Golf Course, make history in a Museum amongst fossils, and top up at a Gas Station diner. These diverse areas will bring racers both indoors and outdoors, on track and in the dirt. With seamless transitions between each setting, racers will have to adjust for their new environment, fully testing their skills. For the creatively inclined, Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged also offers a Track Room where fully custom racetracks can be made from scratch.

Milestone and Matte released a new trailer showcasing Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged’s new game modes and single-player campaign.

In Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged, fun comes in many forms. Race through action-packed tracks that span innocuous rooms in a home, arcades, and backyards with gravity-defying style or test your skills in no-holds-barred battles against other players or extreme challenges.

Along with fan-favorite modes from the original Hot Wheels Unleashed, five brand-new game modes will expand and diversify the racing experience.

In the new Elimination mode, players will need to rely on their survival instincts. Every few seconds, the slowest vehicles will be eliminated from the race, urging players to drive carefully, deciding when they should make a leap for the lead and when they should save their boost. Driftaholics can put their tires to the test in the Drift Master mode, where players will have to maintain precision and style to amass points and dominate their drifting competition.

Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged will feature five different environments, and the Waypoint mode will let players explore and uncover all their secrets. In this mode, players can drive off the iconic orange tracks of the game’s intricate courses and immerse themselves in free-roaming action, where creativity and curiosity will be crucial to discovering the shortest paths through checkpoints.

Staying off the tracks, the Grab the Gears mode offers a perfect blend of racing skills, strategy, and a touch of frenzied action, as players will engage in thrilling online battles to collect as many Gears as possible within an open area. Lastly, chaos will reign supreme in the Clash Derby mode, the ultimate online duel for monster trucks only, where players will seize supremacy of the arena by doing what monster trucks do best: smashing into each other.
