# Digital Cartoon Games Disney Announced the Upcoming 'Tron Identity' Game at D23 By Colin Smith | Published 2022-09-13 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tron-identity References: [venturebeat](https://venturebeat.com/games/tron-identity-brings-the-franchise-back-to-gaming/) & [store.steampowered](https://store.steampowered.com/app/2109430/Tron_Identity/) [Disney](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-speedstorm) announced the newest release of the iconic 'Tron' franchise titled 'Tron Identity.' Tron, which originally launched as an arcade game in 1982, has grown to spawn a number of video game and motion picture film releases over the past few decades. The most recent release prior to Tron Identity was a film, meaning Tron Identity is bringing the franchise back to its video game roots. Disney merely announced the game and showed a brief teaser, but did not specify the platform, or gameplay for the title. However, being a Tron game, Tron Identity will feature sci-fi characters riding motorcycles that leave laser lines behind them, and other characters that ride into these lines will be eliminated from the game. Additionally, the [Steam](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/denshattack) storefront page for Tron Identity shows a narrative story mode rendered in 3D graphics. Lastly, the game has a 2023 release window.
