Official announcement from Codemasters! Releasing April 2017. Link here.

4 player couch co-op and 12 player online. Sounds like a lot of fun.

Please have cross platform multiplayer...

edit Just 12 vehicles? DLC incoming.... Toybox Turbos had 35 for comparison.

It's partnered with Hasbro so don't be surprised to see plenty of that in the future if they release more real-world toy cars.

Releasing in April 2017, Micro Machines World Series will support up to 12 players online and four players on the same screen, across a variety of racing and battling environments. Each of the 12 vehicles has its own unique load-out of weapons and abilities and the game will launch with a massive range of customisation options.

Really hope they leave MT out these options....

Is John Moschitta Jr. involved in any way?

 

[Stopdoor]

Interested to see how much this differs from Toybox Turbos, that game was slick. New battle mode sounds great. A shame it's still only 4 player local.

We saw great success last year with our free-to-play mobile game

did they?

 

[Daffy Duck]

Imagine if the graphics looked like they did in that trailer!

That would be totally amazing, photo realistic environments with crazy detailed cars, my mind wouldn't cope.

Cautiously optimistic for this, I adored the original Micro Machine games back on the megadrive so hope this delivers.

Local co-op, in.

Damn I remember playing this game on the NES 20 years ago against my older brother. Needless to say I got always beaten hard lol.

There was a Micromachines game I played on PC when I was a kid where you could race them around a bathtub and all over the house. It was so much fun.

This one is basically a "remake" of that.

My money (and body) is ready.

 

[SapientWolf]

Toybox Turbos was slow and boring. I hope this one is like V3 instead.

 

[UpDownLeftRight]

Could really go for some gameplay.

Will the disc copy come with controller/USB ports?

Yep. Needs to look and feel like the old ones for me. Bombermans new super real graphics are off putting and lack the charm and appeal of original Bomberman so I'm not holding much for this one. Especially with the way this franchise has become.

[Oneself]

Whoa! I'm in! Toybox Turbos was awesome and I truly wanted an "current gen" version to play with my son.

 

[Bane]

It's coming this spring but no gameplay in the trailer. That's slightly concerning.

Just making sure, you know there's speed classes in Toybox Turbos right? Like the 'public transit' vehicles are way slower than the 'race car' class of vehicles? I'm not sure if I'd describe the latter as slow.

I haven't played a ton of MMV3, but I gave it a quick go recently at a gaming meetup and we were pretty disappointed with how weird the off-road detection was, there was a lot of unexpected deaths and shortcuts. It felt like a consequence of the rough and early 3D. Are you sure this isn't a nostalgia goggles thing?

Oh I'm in it to win it then!

I played V3 with a friend on my PS1 a few weeks ago and I forgot how bad a lot of it was.

Spoiler

I preferred Micro Maniacs, please don't kill me.

You could tell it was a rough game, and it was highlighted moreso in multiplayer when it was GG after about 3 corners when one of the players takes a wrong turn or gets stuck on an object. I'm hoping that this entry will be a lot more accessible, and while lacking the content of V4, it will improve on gameplay.

As long as it plays like the old games, this looks great. Loved me some micro machines back in the day.
