The latest track revealed forHot Wheels Unleashedis called Skyscraper, which will be one of six total “immersive” environments. The new gameplay footage shows the Skyscraper map as a half-completed floor near the top of a high-rise building, sitting atop a fluffy blanket of clouds pierced here and there by fellow skyscrapers during an idyllic sunset. Showcasing Hot Wheels' signature imaginative and colorful vehicles, the trailer shows players will be racing through and around steel beams, electric cables, and over the edge of the skyscraper itself. The Skyscraper environment will also feature an elevator shaft for reaching different floors, and appears to make use of magnetic track for inverted sections.
Hot Wheels Unleashed’s first two revealed environments look fun to play, with the capacity to build custom tracks within them as an exciting prospect.

The new game comes fromMotoGP, Monster Energy Supercross, andRidedeveloper Milestone, meaning some experienced, steady hands are behind the wheel.
