Micro Machines World Series Announced
January 19, in the year of our Lord 2017 --
Codemasters & Koch Media today announced that legendary gaming
franchise, Micro Machines, will be racing its way on to
PlayStation® 4 computer entertainment system, Xbox One and
Windows PC on 21st April 2017. Micro Machines World Series
retains the manic social gameplay of the classic series, updated
with stunning HD visuals that will see you return to the garden,
kitchen, workshop and many more great locations in an array of
amazing miniature vehicles.
In addition to classic game modes such as Race and Elimination,
Micro Machines World Series introduces all new Battle Arenas
which allow you to wreak mass destruction on a miniature scale
against your friends or the AI. Meanwhile, Team play lets you
work together using your vehicles’ unique skills in modes such
as “Capture the Flag” and “King of the Hill.”
Designed around fun gameplay at every turn, Micro Machines World
Series is the ultimate pick up and play experience for players
of all ages and abilities, offering intuitive, easy to learn
controls that make the controller impossible to put down.
Codemasters’ VP Publishing, Jonathan Bunney, commented: “The
original Micro Machines was a breakthrough multiplayer racing
game and remains much loved in the gaming community. We saw
great success earlier this year with our free-to-play mobile
game but this brand new console title takes the franchise to its
greatest levels of multiplayer mayhem and enables you to play
with your friends on the same sofa or across the world.”
Bunney continued: “Whether you’ve been playing Micro Machines
since the early days or are new to the craziness of racing and
battling vehicles across household environments, this incredibly
fun experience is a welcome break from all the serious
multiplayer alternatives. With the support of Hasbro and being
able to feature some of their biggest brands, such as HUNGRY
HUNGRY HIPPOS, G.I. JOE, and NERF, this represents the very best
of social gaming.”
Releasing on 21st April 2017, Micro Machines World Series will
support up to 12 players online and four players on the same
screen across a variety of racing and battling environments.
Each of the 12 vehicles has its own unique load-out of weapons
and abilities and the game will launch with a massive range of
customization options.
