This recent Nintendo Direct featured many surprising announcements. Remasters for games like Portal and Star Wars: The Force Unleashed were announced, alongside new games such as Nintendo Switch Sports and Fire Emblem Heroes: Three Hopes. Perhaps the most surprising announcement from the event was that there would be a Disney and Pixar racing game coming later this year.
Get Ready for some Disney and Pixar Combat Racing
Disney Speedstorm is a combat racing game developed by Gameloft Barcelona, creator of the Asphalt series. The game features characters and tracks from iconic Disney and Pixar films such as Monsters, Inc., Pirates of the Caribbean, and Mulan. Each character can upgrade their stats as players race through locations such as The Scare Floor from Monsters, Inc or the Great Wall of China from Mulan.
After the game launches, several updates will bring new racers and tracks to the game. Players can compete against others in local, couch co-op, or online with cross-platform play.
Disney and Pixar Games’ VP Luigi Priore says, “Gameloft has driven some of our most beloved Disney and Pixar characters to new heights with their latest interpretation while putting a fun spin on their unique circuits and abilities to keep competing fans on the edge of their seats.”
Disney Speedstorm will launch on PC and consoles sometime in 2022.
