The iconic toy racers are apparently about to make their next big gaming appearance: Originally planned for the opening show of the Summer Game Fest this evening, a reliable leaker has already provided all the details and revealed “Hot Wheels Infinite Rush” in advance.
With „Hot Wheels Unleashed“ and the sequel released in October 2023, Milestone scored two real hits. The Italian studio managed to perfectly combine the nostalgic feeling of the well-known toy cars with a fast-paced and extremely satisfying arcade driving experience.
And now the next big appearance of the cult speedster is apparently in the starting blocks. Although the official unveiling was only supposed to take place this evening on the stage of the Summer Game Fest, a well-known and extremely reliable leaker has thrown a huge spanner in the works for showmaster Geoff Keighley – and „Hot Wheels Infinite Rush“ already revealed.
The racing game experts from Milestone return
Probably the most important news: After being published last October and tailored more towards a younger audience „Hot Wheels Let’s Race: Ultimate Speed“ from developer Bamtang Games went down a bit, the racing game experts from Milestone are returning for “Infinite Rush”.
This is going out now exclusive information from the leaker Billbill-kun, who is known for his extremely high hit rate. It is still unclear why the new title is not called “Unleashed 3”.
However, there are already rumors in the rumor mill as to whether Milestone is taking new approaches to gameplay this time – for example, an open-world approach or fresh gameplay modes that go beyond the classic lap races would be conceivable.
Release in September at “Mid Price”
Fans don’t have to wait too long until the release of “Hot Wheels Infinite Rush”: The release is planned for September 24, 2026.
Just as pleasing as the short waiting time is the look at the price: the racing game will be launched as a so-called “mid-price” title. According to billbil-kun, 49.99 US dollars are due, which experience shows that in this country this is converted one-to-one into 49.99 euros.
And the insider is already sure about the platforms. Accordingly, “Hot Wheels Infinite Rush” will be released for the PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC and the Nintendo Switch 2. Conversely, this means: Milestone is leaving the old generation of consoles behind for the first time, which could indicate a significant technical leap.
The official announcement including a trailer with first gameplay insights is expected this evening. Let’s start with the big one Summer Game Fest opening show at 11 p.m. our time.
