Hopefully we’ll see more entertainment models last time we had the DeLorean from Back to the Future and the TMNT Party Wagon amongst several others, but it’d be nice to see them joined by some others this time around.

I also spotted a Bugatti Chiron, so licensed models will still make an appearance.

More of these older models would be welcome in the final product I know some younger players may not recognise them but I’m sure others will my kids can’t be the only zoomers who inherited a bucket full of Gen-X Hot Wheels! There were a few familiar models in the preview selection as well as some new ones, including a reissue of the Sol-Aire CX4, a knock-off Group C racer I definitely remember having back in the 80s. It feels plausible that Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 will arrive with fewer cars than the most dedicated returning fans may have ended up with in the original, but it’s not clear how many of the 130 will be returning cars and how many will be new. The first game launched with 66, although over 80 more were added as DLC or rewards post-release. There was only a small smattering of vehicles available in the preview, but the final game will feature over 130 of them. The bikes handle much like everything else in the game, but they do authentically lean left and right as they manoeuvre. About 10 years ago Hot Wheels debuted a range of bikes with little plastic riders that might’ve been a better aesthetic fit for the game, but the fact they’ve been out of circulation for some time now wouldn’t have helped their case. Milestone is just emulating the actual Hot Wheels models, and in real-life the die cast bikes do skew quite large compared to the regular cars they’re ranged alongside of. They honestly look a little odd without riders and they’re too big compared to the cars, but both of those things are essentially out of Milestone’s control. The garage this time, however, is bolstered by a few extra vehicle types – including motorcycles and ATVs. That is, tiny and impeccably detailed toy cars taking on wild and wacky plastic tracks draped across life-size environments. We’ve had a brief hands-on with Hot Wheels Unleashed 2, and it definitely seems largely in-line with the original at first blush.
