The Story
Now, what do we know about Wheel World so far? Gamers will be taking on the role of Kat. This young cyclist has one mission: to save Wheel World from total collapse. Players will be able to explore the semi-open world environment. See impressive vistas, find hidden secrets, and compete in races that will put Kat's two-wheeled skills to the test. Players will also be able to customize Kat's bike with a near-endless selection of parts. Do you want to craft a sleek speedster to dominate the pavement? Or do you want to build an off-road beast to conquer the wilderness? The decision will be yours!
The Features
Some of the other features that gamers will be able to experience will be:
- Race – Kat will compete against some of the elite cycling teams of the world, as well as quirky rivals, in high-stakes races.
- Upgrading Kat's Ride – The open-world will be full of rare parts that can be used to build the ultimate bike for Kat.
- Fulfilling Kat's Destiny – Help Kat to recover her stolen Legendary parts and help her to perform The Great Shift ritual to save the world. You know – everyday stuff!
All of the game's content will feature original soundtracking from Italians Do It Better.
