Cars 2: The Video Game will be released for PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, DS and PC this summer, Disney Interactive Studios has announced.
The game is in development at Avalanche Software, the studio behind last year’s surprisingly good Toy Story 3.
Following the theme of the upcoming Pixar movie, Cars 2: The Video Game will see you competing in action-packed spy-themed adventures. From CHROME (Command Headquarters for Recon Operations and Motorized Espionage), players will be able to choose from 25 different characters, including Mater and Lightning McQueen, and train to become spies.
“Cars is one of Pixar’s most successful and treasured franchises, so we are thrilled to be working with Avalanche Software again to extend our creative vision of the Cars 2 universe into the interactive medium,” said Jay Ward, Cars franchise guardian at Pixar Animation Studios. “Avalanche Software has the technology, experience, and history in working with us to create the best-looking Cars video game to date.”
“The team at Avalanche Software is working on exciting ways to combine the power of the franchise with new storylines and characters in Cars 2: The Video Game to create something unlike any other racing game,” said John Blackburn, vice president and general manager of Avalanche Software. “The combination of racing, international locations and spy themes, and the beloved Cars characters makes Cars 2: The Video Game a truly unique game for players of all ages and skill levels to enjoy.”
