New Disney Kart Racing Game Announced
A new Disney kart racing video game was announced during today's Nintendo Direct broadcast. The game specifically is called Disney Speedstorm and it's set to release later this summer. In a general sense, the title will allow players to choose from a number of iconic Disney characters in the pursuit of racing against one another. And while we still don't know a whole lot about what the game will have in store, it's going to release in a rather unique manner.
Disney Speedstorm has been confirmed to arrive later this summer and will notably be a free-to-play title. This means that those looking to race as Mickey Mouse, Jack Sparrow, Mulan, or a number of other Disney characters will be able to do so without spending a dime. In addition, the game has also been confirmed to have cross-play functionality. So if you would like to play Speedstorm on Switch while a friend of yours plays via PC, you'll still be able to race against one another.
