In an announcement that will no doubt tempt editor Stephen Tailby back to its toy racer, Hot Wheels Unleashed is following its Batman crossover with a season of SpongeBob SquarePants. This update – available on 20th January, shortly after we’re publishing this article – will include an all-new ladder of free and premium content.
You can look forward to six themed vehicles based on fan-favourite characters like Plankton and Patrick, as well as new customisation items and gear and coins. Obviously, you’ll need to buy-in to the season to get the good stuff, and to be honest we’re not overly keen on how progression works in this particular game’s Battle Pass. Frankly, it’s glacial, and seems poorly integrated.
Nevertheless, the season will end on 29th March, so you’ve got plenty of time to dig in. You can check out a trailer embedded above: which new car do you like the look of most?

This game got stale pretty quick for me. I had fun beating it within the first week and it didnt get much play time after the first few weeks. Largely because at the time i couldnt race ai on a track i created. Not sure if you can now or not. Thats the major part i loved about Modnation Racers. Making the ai suffer on my tracks
Urgh. A Battle Pass for this? Another example of what's wrong with the game industry. It won't seem like it's a problem to many now this practice is normalised after years of exposure to it but an old boy like me will never accept it.
It's "do you smell it?"
Shame on you Push!
..Something rotten in bikini bottom?
No new trophies have landed so I presume this won't be the same as the Batman Expansion.
@Yaycandy Sony could do a LOT worse than recommission a reboot of Modnation Racers, though not quite sure where the devs ended up after the studio closed? That said, Santa Monica studio did the PSP conversion so perhaps they could do it?
@Integrity Exactly. I understand why F2P games collab with other franchises and integrate them in battle passes. But a 60$ game? At least Fall Guys was free on PS Plus
