Disney and Gameloft Barcelona has finally announced a release date for their intriguing take on the kart racing genre which is titled Disney Speedstorm. Fans of the iconic mouse and companions won’t have long to wait to get hands on with the game as it will be launching in Early Access across consoles and PC next month on Tuesday, 18th April. As mentioned Disney Speedstorm players will initially need to purchase a Founder’s Pack in much the same way as Disney Dreamlight Valley operates. Here’s the details from the Disney Speedstorm website:

Great, yet another live service kart racer with predatory monetization that’ll likely be abandoned within a year or two.
Stuff like this really makes me appreciate Mario Kart so much more.
If you can’t race through WDW attractions like on Magical Racing Tour I’m out.
