Toymaker Mattel's Mike DeLaet, Global Head of Digital Gaming, stated: "With this new iteration, we wanted to push even further the boundaries of fun and creativity in the world of arcade racing. The first chapter quickly became the most successful game in our history."

"Obviously, developing a sequel is an even bigger challenge; the standard is high, and we worked really hard to up the ante by providing new game modes and cars to unleash even more Hot Wheels magic, as well as revolutionizing gameplay with new actions and new settings and terrains.
"We think the experience we've created will delight fans of all ages, and we can't wait to see their reactions."

With the help of the game's novel skill system, racing becomes a tactical battlefield.

Your race-earned Skills Points may be invested in one of three branches of a skill tree to develop your car in a variety of ways, resulting in improved performance.

While Lateral Dash enables drivers to travel fast sideways, perfect for crashing with opponents or avoiding tumbling off the track, Single or Double Jumps are now available for players to employ for nimble overtakes, dodging obstacles, and reaching shortcuts or previously unreachable track sections.
