It looks like a brand-new Hot Wheels game is about to race onto the starting grid.
According to a new report from reliable insider billbil-kun and Dealabs, Hot Wheels Infinite Rush is set to become the next major entry in the franchise, with a release planned for September 24, 2026.
And honestly?
The leaked trailer makes it look far more ambitious than previous Hot Wheels games.
Hot Wheels Infinite Rush Reportedly Launches This September
The leak claims that Hot Wheels Infinite Rush is being developed by Milestone, the same studio behind both Hot Wheels Unleashed and Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged.
According to the report, the game is currently targeting release on:
- PC
- PS5
- XBOX Series X|S
- Nintendo Switch 2
The standard edition is reportedly priced at $49.99.
While publisher Mattel and Milestone have yet to make an official announcement, all signs point toward a reveal arriving very soon.
Trailer Accidentally Appears Online Early
Adding further credibility to the leak, a trailer for Hot Wheels Infinite Rush reportedly appeared ahead of schedule through the EB Games Australia Trailers YouTube channel before being quickly removed.
The trailer showcases what appears to be a much larger-scale experience than previous entries.
Most notably, players are seen exploring a fully connected open world rather than simply racing through standalone tracks.
The footage also features:
- Multiple Hot Wheels vehicles
- Large-scale environments
- New stunt sections
- Massive race tracks
- Giant environmental obstacles
- A gigantic creature resembling King Kong
And honestly?
It feels like Milestone is leaning heavily into the fantasy toybox aspect of Hot Wheels this time around.
Open World Appears to Be the Big New Feature
The biggest takeaway from the leaked footage is the apparent focus on open-world exploration.
Previous Hot Wheels Unleashed games primarily revolved around track-based racing and customization.
Infinite Rush appears to expand that formula significantly by allowing players to freely drive between activities, races, and challenges across a larger environment.
If true, it could represent the biggest evolution the series has seen since its revival.
Summer Game Fest Reveal Looks Likely
Although no official announcement date has been confirmed, the timing strongly suggests Infinite Rush could appear during Summer Game Fest.
With the game reportedly launching in September, a summer reveal would make perfect sense from a marketing perspective.
Especially considering several publishers are seemingly trying to secure release dates before the industry enters the GTA 6 launch window later this year.
Hot Wheels Is Finally Returning
The last major Hot Wheels release, Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged, launched back in 2023.
Since then, fans have been waiting to see where Milestone would take the franchise next.
If these leaks prove accurate, Hot Wheels Infinite Rush could deliver the biggest and most ambitious entry yet, combining the fast-paced arcade racing fans already enjoy with a brand-new open-world structure.
And honestly?
Driving toy cars through giant environments while dodging giant monsters sounds exactly like the kind of ridiculous fun Hot Wheels should be aiming for.
