'Micro Machines World Series' is a new video game that might not seem so novel. That's because the game is based off of a classic: 'Micro Machines,' the iconic 90s racing franchise that pits toy cars against one another on household tracks. Though the franchise has had several iterations, Micro Machines World Series is the first new game in a decade.
The new offering features many of the same options that made the original stand out for gamers, including toy-like vehicles and whimsical, homey racetracks, but it has been expanded to include new racers and weapons. This new version also offers an online gameplay mode that accepts up to 12 players along with the standard four-player local mode. The video game will available for Xbox One, Playstation 4, and PC on June 23rd.
