Sydney, Australia – June 28, 2023 – Milestone, a leading global racing game developer, and Mattel, Inc. (NASDAQ: MAT) have released a new trailer for Hot Wheels Unleashed™ 2 – Turbocharged, available starting October 19 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch™, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store. Featuring new gameplay mechanics, terrains, and vehicle types and categories, the sequel will introduce exciting new possibilities for all Hot Wheels® racers.
Watch the Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 – Turbocharged“New Possibilities” trailer here.
First and foremost, in Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 – Turbocharged, having a fast car will not be the only key to success, as gameplay has been revolutionised with the introduction of two new moves that add an extra layer of depth to competition. With the power of boost, players will be able to Jump or Double Jump at any moment. This new action serves as an ideal tool for overtaking opponents or navigating tight spaces by avoiding obstacles. Moreover, these new moves enable players to not only enhance their racing skills but also discover new shortcuts or access previously unreachable sections of the track.
Meanwhile, the brand-new Lateral Dash allows players to swiftly shift to the left or right, colliding with opponents on either side of their vehicle. Using this manoeuvre, players can strategically force opponents out of bounds or use them to bounce within the confines of the orange plastic track. These new abilities, combined with the boost and drift mechanics players know and love from Hot Wheels Unleashed™, open up a multitude of opportunities and greatly expand the possibilities for players to make strategic decisions and interpret each race and track in their preferred way.
Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 – Turbochargedtakes the fun to the next level by introducing five distinct and completely new environments. Players will be transported to an expansive Arcade reminiscent of the bygone era of coin-operated games; a Backyard of a residential house transformed into a thrilling racing arena; a Mini Golf Course nestled within a Wild West township; a Museum where players can race among reproductions of dinosaurs and other fossil artifacts; and a Gas Station housing a once tranquil diner serving juicy hamburgers. In addition, Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 – Turbochargedwill featurethe Track Room, which offers a special empty environment for players who prefer to unleash their creativity and design their own unique tracks in a neutral space.
Many of the game’s diverse range of tracks will take place exclusively indoors or in the open air, while others will seamlessly transition between both settings, providing a dynamic and immersive racing experience. This variety of settings elevates gameplay, as different environments offer a range of surfaces that significantly impact the handling of vehicles. As a result, racers will need to adapt their skills and carefully select the appropriate vehicle for each race, ensuring a thrilling and strategic experience.
Speaking of vehicles,Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 – Turbocharged presents a vastly expanded launch line up featuring an impressive collection of 130 iconic vehicles from the Hot Wheels universe, including the introduction of all-new classes such as ATVs and Motorcycles. Each vehicle possesses a unique style and character based on the category it belongs to. 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 manoeuvrability. 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 terrain.
To truly dominate the competition, a combination of muscle and brain is essential. That’s why Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 – Turbocharged introduces a brand-new Skill System that allows players to customise their vehicles’ driving experience. Players can now invest Skill Points they earn in a Skill Tree consisting of three branches, each focusing on different aspects. These include enhancing boost and related features, improving handling, and upgrading the ability to navigate obstacles. The meaningful choices made in the skill tree enrich both moment-to-moment gameplay and long-term variety as players explore the breadth of customisation options.
In Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 – Turbocharged it’s not just what’s under the hood that matters. The improved Livery Editor will allow the creation of unique designs to stand out on the track, while the new Sticker Editor will enable players to create, save, and share specific patterns and shapes, allowing for further customisation of their vehicle’s appearance! Once they are satisfied with their designs, players can share them with the world, showcasing their artistic skills to fellow racers.
“On top of their expertise with racing games, Milestone’s unique ability to understand the Hot Wheels brand was the key ingredient in making Hot Wheels Unleashed such a success,” said Mike DeLaet, Global Head of Digital Gaming at Mattel. “With Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 – Turbocharged, Milestone has taken gameplay, customisation, graphics, and more to the next level, all while elevating the authentic Hot Wheels experience that remains the wondrous heart of this series.”
Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 – Turbocharged is available now for pre-order on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store. For more information, visit hotwheelsunleashed.com.

Drive fast and furiously through kinetic races with friends online
Mount Maunganui, New Zealand – 27 June 2023 – Monster Racing League, the chaotic multiplayer combat racer with customizable drivers and strategic abilities from developer Flightless, drifts into a free-to-play launch on PC via Steam Early Access today.
Harness speed, strategy, and fiendish fun in an auto-racer that’s easy to learn and rewarding to master. Customize a vinyl toy-inspired racer, strategically equip an ability loadout, and bring chaos to the race track before crossing the finish line in multi-round races with up to 10 players online.
Put the ‘car’ in ‘carnage’ and unleash offensive abilities to send fellow monsters crashing back to last place. Utilize key defensive skills to render opponents immobile with EMP blasts, cloud their vision with smoke screens, and even swap places with the nearest racer for true mayhem, all through lush fields, dry canyons, snowy forests, and prehistoric pastures.
Rock the podium in style by customizing each driver’s appearance from its helmet down to its horns, eyes, and even car color. Spend hard-earned Knucklebones and XP to unlock new playable monsters, cosmetics, and ability upgrades. Put each racer to the test in online matches or enter practice mode to go head to head with AI monsters to experiment before challenging friends.
New and returning racers can get in the driver’s seat with more extensive monster customization options, amped up leaderboards, and controller support, with even more new game modes and race types on the way! The all-new Premium All Time Pass ($9.99 USD) will grant avid drivers access to all future seasonal content, and will be granted to monsters who previously purchased Monster Racing League at no additional cost.
“From the moment we started making Monster Racing League, we’ve strived to make a game focused on fun, accessible car combat,” said John O’Reilly, founder and Creative Director at Flightless. “We hope our game brings racers of all ages together to create a monster of their own and test their skills!”

Feel a fresh turn-based tension by reacting to opponents in a genre-blending arena
SUNNYVALE, CA – June 27, 2023 –Yomi 2, the sequel to the first “fighting card game” from SuperStreet Fighter II Turbo HD Remix and Fantasy Strike lead designer David Sirlin, mixes decks and divekicks together today in Early Access for PC, Mac, and Steam Deck via Steam and Epic Games Store. Watch the new cinematic trailer in honor of the launch here.
Choose a fighter from an expressive roster of nine characters (with more to come), and explore each fighter’s individual movesets from above a digital card playmat. Draw a hand of moves and start strategizing before the round even starts. Interrupt slow overhead attacks with quick jabs, score a knockdown to set up an offensive as they stand back up, and dodge grabs to counterattack with a combination of card plays leading to a cinematic, high-damage finisher.
Read opponents and play around their player habits with character-driven mechanics fueled by fighting game systems like combos, frame data, attack priority, special cancels, and much more — or simply pick a favorite character by virtue of them wielding a paintbrush for a weapon. Prevent opponents from spamming fireballs by closing the distance, be ever-mindful of the looming threat that is a grappler’s command grab, and learn how to navigate around matchups to lean into character strengths for an easy win.
Augment special moves with one of six gems and shift reality with a momentum-swinging assault to storm an opponent’s defenses in various ways. Master a character and improve with each fight offline in the single-player Career mode that pits players against hundreds of the most colorful personalities the city has to offer. Train in the lab to practice combos and test newfound tactics in one-off versus CPU battles.
Compete in a brand new competitive environment built from the ground up to highlight the tension of taking turns. Queue up to fight others via matchmaking in synchronous multiplayer modes, including both ranked and casual play, or enjoy locally with pass-and-play. Asynchronous multiplayer, allowing players to play multiple matches at once while waiting for their next turn, will launch later in Early Access.
Beyond serving as a way to finalize the digital game, Yomi 2’s Early Access period aims to develop and balance a future physical tabletop card game with the same rules and mechanics as its virtual counterpart.
“Feedback is critically important to us,” said David Sirlin, President and Founder, Sirlin Games. “We want to get Yomi 2 into the hands of its passionate playerbase now to help shape discussions of the future as you can’t really patch a physical card game post-launch. Our community deserves to be heard, and we’re so excited to balance the digital game in tandem with player feedback to fully realize the finalized, physical card game to come.”
Yomi 2 is now available in Early Access for PC, Mac, and Steam Deck via Steam and Epic Games Store for $24.99. For more information on Yomi 2, follow developer Sirlin Games on Twitter.

The interview with Keanu Reeves, who will reprise his role as Johnny Silverhand, as well as the introduction to the black market of Night City’s most dangerous district, Dogtown, premiered earlier in June at the Xbox Games Showcase Extended.
