You know the deal by now – if Annapurna Interactive put their name to something, that something is going to be at least very decent. And with the developer of Nidhogg – Messhof – behind the gears of Wheel World, we can safely assume that this colourful racer should appeal to many.
A Cyclist’s Dream!
Now available on Xbox, PlayStation and PC, Wheel World is the latest game to launch day-one onto the Game Pass service, greatly expanding this exploration / racing game’s reach.
Wheel World is a cel-shaded adventure that takes you across an open world full of trials, tribulations, and races. As Kat – a young cyclist with a determination to become the best cyclist out there, you’ll explore this beautiful world, and attempt to save it from collapse by (checks notes), winning lots of cycling races!
Across the world, you’ll find dozens of bike parts, each offering up a different boost to the player. Through trial and error of different parts, you’ll tailor your bespoke bike to your unique playstyle.
Of course, once you find the Legendary parts required to perform The Great Shift ritual and save the world, you’ll be bolting those onto your rig in no time.
“We’re beyond excited to launch Wheel World! This is Messhof’s most ambitious game yet, and our team has poured everything into it. We can’t wait for you to play and rediscover the thrill of biking all over again,” says Kristy Norindr, co-founder, Messhof
