It looks like everyone has a kart racer now, as Warped Kart Racers features Peter Griffin from Family Guy.
Warped Kart Racers is a Mario Kart style racing game that will be coming to the Apple Arcade May 20. And it recruits 20 different characters from various shows like Family Guy, American Dad, and King of the Hill.
The reveal trailer also noted that there are 16 different maps, and 8 player multiplayer, with a range of customisations.
Gameplay looks like it’s pretty much just Mario Kart but with touch controls, so it gets the job done. It looks to have your standard shell throwing shenanigans, but it’s unclear how many items there are in there. There was also some kind of item that looks like the head of a creature that does the same thing as a speed boost mushroom in Mario Kart.
The game also features the show Solar Opposites, a newer Fox show, but one from Rick and Morty creator Justin Roiland. Solar Opposites hasn’t proven as popular as its dimension hopping counterpart. But putting it in a racing game at least suggests it’s sticking around for a while longer.
Warped Kart Racers isn’t the only game coming to Apple Arcade in the near future. Also coming in May is Badland party, a multiplayer, side-scrolling game where you basically play as a soot sprite from Spirited Away. For the more chaotic among you, Goat Simulator+ will also be joining Apple Arcade in May. And for the more sports inclined, Pro Darts 2022+ is also joining the service.
Hopefully Warped Kart Racers can tide us over until the next wave of Mario Kart DLC drops.
