Disney's Cars will be back in video game form and from developer Avalanche Software too, as the company gets revived by Warner Bros. Interactive.
The new Cars 3 is based off the upcoming Disney Pixar film and is going to be made using the Octane engine that Avalanche Software had used on their release of Cars 2. Exact details about the Cars 3 video game tie-in haven't been revealed yet but you can expect some racing in there somewhere. Probably.
“It is a tremendous pleasure to welcome Avalanche Software into our development stable, and we look forward to working with our new team, Pixar Animation Studios, and DCPI to create Cars 3 based on the upcoming film and hugely popular franchise,” said David Haddad, President, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. “The Avalanche talent and technology are a great addition to our group of outstanding developers, and we are excited for this Cars 3 game as well as all of the future games the team will create under John’s leadership.”
Cars 3 is in development likely for PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 in 2017.
Cars 3 the movie will be in cinemas June 16th in the US, and on July 14th in the UK this year.
