Whether driving the Spy Car destroying a Hovercraft with a NERF
Blaster in the Games Room, or the Dump Truck blowing up a Tank with
a Dynamite Launcher in the garden,
Micro Machines World Series
will have players of all ages smiling from ear-to-ear
while delivering absolute carnage.
Executive Producer Chris Gray said, “Micro Machines World
Series is a fresh new take on the franchise that is great fun for
previous players and those new to Micro Machines. It’s a firm
fan favorite and we are delighted to be bringing it to the PS4,
Xbox One and PC. In addition to the return of the classic Race and
Elimination modes, we are extremely excited by the new Battle
Arenas. Having 12 players in the same match, all fighting it out
with a variety of vehicles and crazy weapons is great fun. Gamers
are going to love it.”
Players will take on a whole new way of racing in Micro Machines
World Series. Not only will players be able to burn rubber across
the Kitchen table in familiar 4 player ‘sofa style’
local races but also enter into larger 12 player online races. With
such a large number of players on one screen, gamers can look
forward to seeing 12 vehicles jostling for position and hurtling
toward each corner to every map.
In addition to the core racing modes are the Battle Modes which
pit up to 12 players into the same arena for frantically
competitive multiplayer games including Capture the Flag and
Territory as well as 6v6 Team Deathmatch. All of these are set to
the varied interactive backdrop of 15 battle arenas including The
Laser Lab, Buzzsaw Battle and the evergreen fun of navigating the
Hungry Hungry Hippos board without being eaten.
Players can personalize their Battles with 12 new vehicles
including the Spy Car, Hovercraft, Monster Truck or G. I. Joe
H.I.S.S Tank, each with their own strengths and weapons. Players
will set off trying to crush, smash, and destroy opponents with
numerous new weapons including the Dynamite Launcher, Tidal Wave,
Cobra Turret and NERF Blasters. Every vehicle also has a level of
customization with new skins, completely changing the original
look. The inclusion of Emotes, Victory Poses, and Grave Stamps also
add to the camaraderie and bragging rights at the end of a
match.
Adding to the hilarity and fun of Micro Machines, the release is
narrated by the one and only Brian Blessed. In his own,
recognizable and unique style Brian bursts forth announcing the
start of races as well as “ENEMY FLAG TAKEN” and
“MICRO MACHINES IS ALIVE!”
