The first racing season in Hot Wheels Unleashed has arrived; it's DC Super Villains themed, with I think 6 cars to add to your collection. Pretty much as long as you do the daily challenges, it seems like you should be fine. They automatically give you a Deathstroke van/truck and it sucks until you upgrade it to "rare," but the credits and gears are flowing very nicely 3 days into the season, so I've been upgrading a bunch of my cars.
Wait, it this a games as service/live service game? I was thinking of picking it up, and if it is, I won't be.
So yes/no. It's a racing game that has 50+ Hot Wheels cars that you can race around I want to say 40+ tracks, and if you never want to go online, that's fine. There's DLC season passes that can be purchased for extra cars, tracks, and track pieces (if you want to build your own tracks), but it's not necessary. DLC thus far are cars from DC Comics, Street Fighter, Aston Martin (so they can have a James Bond car release around the time of NTTD without having to say it's a James Bond car) and other Hot Wheels cars. They've confirmed that other car manufacturers and He-Man cars will also be coming at some point. As for the racing seasons, this is a separate purchase from the season passes ($5 I think?). The seasons will last about 60 days, and there are three objectives you need to complete each day to keep earning XP to move up tiers that are purely rewards. If you want to compete in online races to do the objectives you can, but it's really not necessary and you can do everything in single player. Again, not necessary to purchase any of the DLC if you don't want to, although I will say that the credits (used to purchase cars) and gears (used to upgrade cars) are flowing very nicely during this racing season - I was wondering if they were going to do something like this, because otherwise the game is a tad grindy when upgrading/purchasing cars. That being said, this game was a strong contender for my GOTY on my friend's podcast, and it still is. Even if they hadn't introduced the racing season (which again, you don't have to do unless you want to), it's a really well-made game that has a lot of love and care put into it.
