A NEW LINEUP OF GAME MODES TO BOOST FUN TO THE NEXT LEVEL
In Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 – Turbocharged, fun comes in many forms. Whether it is action-packed moments, challenges that test strategy and driving skills, or no-holds-barred battles, the game will feature a variety of modes that allow players to experience new heights of arcade fun.

In addition to fan-favorite modes from the first chapter, five brand-new game modes will expand and diversify the racing experience. In the new Elimination mode, players will need to rely on their survival instincts. Every few seconds, the slowest vehicles will be eliminated from the race, urging players to drive mindfully, considering their position, risks, and when to strive for a better placement. Driftaholics, on the other hand, will love to hear their tires screeching in the Drift Master mode, where players will have to maintain precision and style to amass points and dominate their drifting competition. Here, speed will assume a secondary role, favoring more agile vehicles as skillfully modulating the gas and counter-steering will be the true keys to victory.

Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 – Turbocharged will feature five different environments, and the Waypoint mode will allow players to explore and uncover all of their secrets. Players will leave behind the iconic orange tracks to immerse themselves in free-roaming action, where creativity and curiosity will be crucial to discovering the shortest paths through checkpoints. Staying off the tracks, the Grab the Gears mode offers a perfect blend of racing skills, strategy, and a touch of frenzied action, as players will engage in thrilling online battles to collect as many Gears as possible within a delineated area. Lastly, chaos will reign supreme in the Clash Derby mode, the ultimate online duel for Monster Trucks only, where players will seize supremacy of the arena by delivering powerful hits to their opponents.
