Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged, Milestone

Videogames, 2023


The world’s raddest cars are back and we got on them too, to take the fun to the next level!

One of the most famous driving game with toy cars is back faster than ever!
Maga Animation Studio joined the Milestone team to develop a sequel to Hot Wheels Unleashed (2021). We worked to make this epic adventure possible through 2D motion comics created specifically for the cutscenes, from the original character design of the protagonists, to the direction, storyboard and final output. Like its predecessor, Turbocharged is a racing game in which the player assumes control of vehicles from the Hot Wheels franchise by Mattel and races against other opponents in miniature tracks.

Over 130 vehicles, crazy new mechanics, more vehicle types, stunning new environments, different game modes: a lot of ways to unleash the fun! Turbocharged's tracks are set in five different environments based in an arcade, a family backyard, a mini-golf course, a museum, and a gas station diner.
