Velan Studios, the studio behind Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit, has unveiled Hot Wheels: Rift Rally, a new mixed reality racing game that’s coming to PlayStation 5, PS4, and iOS on 14th March.
Like Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit before it, Hot Wheels: Rift Rally comes with a bunch of physical components – in this case, a remote control car known as the Chameleon RC and four “mixed reality gateS” used to lay out courses in the real-world – all of which are then transformed into something a little more exotic when viewed on a screen.
The car, for instance, can take on the appearance of over 140 different vehicles, ranging from classic iconic Hot Wheels cars (think Twin Mill, Bone Shaker, Gotta Go, and Mach Speeder) to a number of Rift Rally originals.
Hot Wheels: Rift Rally features a gate-free Stunt mode – where the goal is to chain drifts, wheelies, and burnouts together to hit high scores and earn rewards – plus a Campaign mode. The latter is where the gates come into play, with players able to create their own mixed reality track and explore challenge maps to compete in races and complete challenges.
Hot Wheels: Rift Rally will cost $129.99 USD when it launches for PlayStation and iOS on 14th March.
