A new collaboration between Velan Studios, the creators of Mario Kart Live Circuit, and Mattel is bringing a unique mixed reality racing title called Hot Wheels: Rift Rally. This game combines the thrill of a AAA racing game with Velan’s patented RC mixed reality technology for a new Hot Wheels experience that blends the real world with over-the-top digital environments.
Players can get behind the wheel of their favorite Hot Wheels vehicles using the Chameleon RC car, which can digitally transform into more than 140 vehicle variations. This includes iconic Hot Wheels such as Twin Mill™, Bone Shaker™, Mach Speeder™, Gotta Go™, and more fan-favorites; as well as several Rift Rally original vehicles.
There are two ways to play. In Campaign mode, players set up Rift Gates to create the ultimate mixed reality track and explore different challenge maps where there are multiple challenges to complete and races to race. In Stunt mode, players drive and stunt the Chameleon without gates as they chain together drifts, wheelies, and burnouts to hit high scores and earn rewards.
Hot Wheels: Rift Rally blends physical and digital play on March 14th for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Mobile via iOS. Interested players can pre-order the game today in either the Standard Edition for $129.99 (SRP) or the Collector’s Edition for $149.99 (SRP). Included with the purchase are the Chameleon RC car, four Rift Gates for track building, and a charging cable. The game software will be free to download.
The Collector’s Edition includes a special edition Chameleon with black deco and gold accents and a limited edition McLaren Senna Hot Wheels die-cast car in a display case.
