The residents of Far Far Away, the Isle of Berk, Troll Village and, uhh, wherever Kung Fu Panda takes place are heading for the racetrack as publisher GameMill Entertainment has today announced DreamWorks All-Star Kart Racing — a new franchise-driven racer that will be heading to Switch later this year.
The starting line-up sees 20 characters from Shrek, How to Train Your Dragon, Madagascar, Kung Fu Panda and more take to the track, racing around circuits that take inspiration from several of these worlds. Each character has their own unique car and can use items along the way to give them an edge over the opponents (ringing any bells?).
There are some changes from the usual IP-racer formula to be found here like magical switches which can be hit to unlock shortcuts, and there looks to be a variety of game modes to cater for those who want to race competitively, in split-screen co-op, or just take in the sights. Unfortunately, there is no trailer for this one just yet, but you can take a look at the following information and screenshots to get a taste of what's in store.
