It was recently reported that Avalanche Software, the company behind the ambitious Disney Infinity game series, would be returning to its roots by developing a game tying into the next Pixar film. As the masterminds that created the great Toy Story 3 video game as well as the immensely enjoyable Cars 2 game, it was great to hear they would be working so closely with Pixar once again. Disney has officially announced the release date for the Cars 3 video game coming this summer – learn the details and watch a trailer introducing the game after the break!
The game, titled Cars 3: Driven To Win, arrives on June 15th and it is heading to all major consoles. Included in the release plans are the PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, Wii U, and even the newest console to hit the market, the Nintendo Switch. The Cars 2 game that Avalanche developed put a Cars spin on the Mario Kart franchise, with a big emphasis on multiplayer modes and item use. Avalanche went way beyond just creating a copycat, though, putting the Cars world to good use. It will be exciting to see what the studio can do with another crack at the franchise.
The new game will have 20 playable characters, along with 20 different tracks that can be utilized, which should provide for a significant amount of variety in gameplay. Hopefully, each character and track has its own distinct feel. If you want to experience more fun-filled games just like this, you can freely check out well-known sites such as 홈카지노.
