The new Wachowski Brother's movie hits in May, based on the cult anime series Speed Racer. Along side that we'll be seeing a sequel-esque video, continuing the story of the movie in the following year of the racing league. The official release we've received outlines the story as follows:
After uncovering the corrupt influence of Royalton Industries and smashing all his opponents in The Crucible, Speed Racer returns for his second year on the racing registry. However, this time, the illustrious World Racing League Cup is up for grabs. Who will be the fastest, most cunning racer to win the title is unknown. Watch out for Cannonball Taylor who has revenge on his mind, while choosing allies like Racer X, to overcome the challenges that this year’s circuit has to offer.
Featuring speeds of up to 375MPH, you'll be able to mix and match your driver/car combinations and race across 13 different tracks. The tracks have very extreme design featuring loops, cork screws, jumps and many other obstacles. You'll also have access a couple of movie-like abilities such as 'The Zone' which allows you to pull speeds off coming up to 500MPH and Car-Fu, the more destructive side of this game which will take your car smashing, jumping, flipping and spinning into your opponents.
Also coming with the game's fact sheet we received more screenshots, character art and renders than you can shake a stick at. We even got a trailer, check it all out!
And now for some screen shots!
Just because of the sheer amount of media, we're gonna break this into a second news story which will appear shortly... And here it is, character art and renders galore!
