Last week, you may recall that racing specialist Milestone put out the first gameplay trailer for its upcoming game, Hot Wheels Unleashed. The toy car racer is coming to PlayStation 5 and PS4, and that trailer got us pretty excited. It looks as though the studio, most famous for its extensive work on motorcycle racing titles, is coming good on this licensed game; it looks like it could be super fun with those wide drifts and huge jumps.
In case you wanted to see a little more, GameSpot managed to secure some eight minutes of gameplay from an early build. In the video above, you can see four races on different tracks, all of which take place in the dingy garage setting. It'll be nice to see some more colourful environments, but as it stands, the racing itself looks to be pretty tight. This could be a pleasant surprise when it arrives in September.
What do you think of this early gameplay from Hot Wheels Unleashed? Speed into the comments section below.

I hate myself for wanting this.
I saw another gameplay video last week and the track was in a sunny outdoors, so there's definitely some variety there. At least 2 environments
I'd rather have a new Ridge Racer.
@Voltan Haha, good to hear!
I'm definitely looking forward to seeing more.
@Quintumply Bad news - I tried looking for it now and couldn't find it but it looks like it could've been some mislabeled Forza Horizon Hot Wheels expansion footage that someone uploaded for lulz instead. Sorry.
@Voltan Ah well. I'm sure the game has plenty of variety in its environments, it's early days
It actually looks good, that time of year currently looks quiet so may pick it up
Hard pass. It looks like a worse version of trackmania turbo.
I'll buy it, I like trackmania as this seems similar.
I've watched two gameplay videos and it already seems like too much of the same.
There’s an $80 digital deluxe version of THIS GAME and some people won’t bat an eye, but still be upset with Sony and others for raising their blockbuster games to $70
I like that the cars show some wear and tear. Nice touch.
Great screeching and engine sound. Definitely interiested.
@LordSteev same here. But I’m probably going to get it. 😄
Not sure if it's the driving viewpoint, but this looks less like tiny cars racing in a room and more like full-size cars racing in a vast room-like environment to me.
It looks decent, but it looks almost too straightforward. I wish there was more variety. More hazards. More zaniness.
I almost wish they would have taken inspiration from Split/Second and added some sort of environmental hazard system where you could change the track/room around you, but tie into them being toys in larger rooms. So where Split/Second had airplane crashes, maybe this you could spill a soda on the track and cause a water hazard or stuff like that to change up the track itself each play.
@TheGrizMachine 👍
Yeah, me too.
not a fan of racing games, but man this looks great.... wierd right ?
I'm not sure it's interesting enough at the moment... There doesn't seem to be much going on other than driving around to find boost pads. If you're not going to have power ups you need an interactive changing environment for me (like the previous comment about split second) I also echo that it looks like normal sized cars in an enormous room. The track creation tool needs to be on point with this, milestone should look at modnation racers for inspiration, one of the most underappreciated kart racers for me.
This will be a good pick up from the game collection for 3.99 about a week after it drops.
I want this but will be waiting for a bargain bin sale in a few years.
