Micro Machines World Series announced for PS4, watch the debut trailer

Codemasters and Koch Media have announced a new Micro Machines game for the PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One, which is expected to release in spring 2017—and let’s be honest, who doesn’t friggin’ love Micro Machines? 

Not only do you get the classic game modes, such as Race and Elimination, but you will also be able to play a new game mode called Battle Arena. It plays just as it sounds. Just go in and cause mass destruction. You can also team up with friends and play game modes, such as Capture the Flag and King of the Hill.

Jonathan Bunney, VP Publishing at Codemasters, stated that, “The original Micro Machines was a breakthrough multiplayer racing game and remains much loved in the gaming community. We saw great success earlier this year with our free-to-play mobile game but this brand new console title takes the franchise to its greatest levels of multiplayer mayhem…”

He continued, “Whether you’ve been playing Micro Machines since the early days or are new to the craziness of racing and battling vehicles across household environments, this incredibly fun experience is a welcome break from all the serious multiplayer alternatives. With the support of Hasbro and being able to feature some of their biggest brands, such as HUNGRY HUNGRY HIPPOS, G.I. JOE, OUIJA, and NERF, this represents the very best of social gaming.”

Micro Machines World Series will be in stores on April 21 and support up to 12 players online with 4-player split-screen. According to the press release, each vehicle will also have its own unique selection of weapons and abilities and that game will be released with a ton of customization options.
