Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged among the D.I.C.E. Awards nominees!
12 gen 2024In October 2023 one of the most exciting driving games with the famous Mattel™ toy cars came back with a new release by the game developer Milestone. Maga Animation Studio supported the development team on Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 by making an epic adventure through 2D motion comics cutscenes. Similarly to its previous version, Turbocharged is a racing game in which the player takes control of vehicles from the Hot Wheels franchise and races against other opponents in miniature racetracks.
Two days ago, on 10th January, the game has been nominated for "Racing Game of the Year" at the 27th Annual D.I.C.E. Awards (Design Innovate Communicate Entertain), commonly recognized as the video game equivalent of the Academy Awards! After receiving on November 13th the nomination for "Best Sports/Racing Game" at the Game Awards 2023, this second accreditation adds even more meaning to all of us involved in this project.
