“Disney Speedstorm,” the kart racing game developed by Gameloft, will be available via Early Access starting April 18 on multiple gaming platforms. The arcade-like kart racing video game features fan-favorite characters sporting zippy vehicles and skills to match their unique personas.
Take Kart Racing to the Next Level with “Disney Speedstorm”
According to the official release statement, players of “Disney Speedstorm” will “suit up and hit the high-speed circuits as some of [their] favorite Disney and Pixar characters in this exhilarating cross-platform arcade combat racing game.”
The game offers two modes, both a “Season Tour” in single-player mode and a multiplayer mode where gamers can challenge their friends in local and online gaming sessions. Racers will zoom through iconic, recognizable Disney-themed environments, and over time, additional characters and upgradeable karts will be added to the racing lineup.
In addition, “Disney Speedstorm” will feature seasonal content, new racers, new tracks, and “regular additions” of collectibles.
