Over the past few hours, the developers of Milestone have announced that they have crossed the 1 million copies milestone of Hot Wheels Unleashed, the new racing game of the Italian software house which thus underlines its own success. The game was launched last September on PC and on PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch consoles, immediately receiving good feedback from the public and critics.
Hot Wheels Unleashed is a hit
Thanks to a million copies sold, Hot Wheels Unleashed became Milestone’s best-selling game ever, clear sign the slight change of tone of the game has earned the studio a large chunk of extra audience. This title is in fact quite different from the works to which the software house based in Milan has always accustomed us, first of all for the change from two to four wheels.
To celebrate success, Luisa Bixio, CEO of the company, thanked all the fans for playing the title and for showing their affection for the studio even on the occasion of such an unconventional release. Andrew Chan, the head of Mattel’s Digital Gaming sector, also spoke for the occasion, congratulating the Milanese studio, promising players new content in the future.
Hot Wheel Unleashed, for the uninitiated, is a racing game with strong arcade features, which will make us drive the Mattel-branded toy cars of the same name in crazier and more intricate circuits than ever. Given the success of the title, it cannot be excluded that Mattel and Milestone will collaborate again in the future on new projects, as the words of Andrew Chan suggest.
For the moment, in any case, we can only congratulate Milestone for the excellent result achieved.
