WB Games and Disney show off Cars 3: Driven to Win for PS4, Xbox One, Switch

With a new Disney?Pixar Cars movie in production and scheduled to launch this summer, it was inevitable that there would be a videogame version as well. Of course, it was announced some time ago, but today Warner Bros. and Disney gave us all a sneak peak at the game.

Coming to the PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, Nintendo Switch and Wii U on June 13th, Cars 3 looks to be more of a competitive, kart-style racing game than a story based adventure, which is fine by us.  Apparently there’s no direct correlation between this 3rd Cars game and the 3rd movie, other than some of the characters and environments.

Have a look at the first video and some screens too.
