Disney Speedstorm races towards new Early Access release date

By Heidi Nicholas,

Disney Speedstorm has now announced an Early Access release date — you'll need to buy a Founder's Pack if you want to play in Early Access before the game's free-to-play launch.

Disney Speedstorm launches into Early Access on April 18th, with Gameloft explaining that it "realised we needed a bit more time to add game elements and polish before moving forward with the full free-to-play game launch that we envisioned."

Gameloft continues to add that it has "decided to allow players to experience the game now in Early Access as Founders" — to get Early Access to the game, you need to buy a Founder's Pack. When Disney Speedstorm comes out of Early Access, it will be free-to-play. A Founder's Pack also offers you "exclusive premium items."

There is a Standard Founder’s Pack for £25.99/$29.99/€29.99, a Deluxe Founder’s Pack for £44.99/$49.99/€49.99, and an Ultimate Founder’s Pack for £59.99/€69.99/$69.99 — all versions include Early Access, Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck as racers, exclusive cosmetics, Tokens, and Golden Pass credits; the difference seems to be that the Deluxe Founder's Pack offer 7,000 Tokens to the Standard Founder's Pack's 4,000 Tokens, while the Ultimate Founder's Pack offers 12,000 Tokens and three Golden Pass credits instead of two.

In Early Access, the game "offers a robust arcade combat racing experience, including both single-player and multiplayer modes, leaderboards, friends’ invitations, and a shop where players can use in-game currency to purchase additional items." Single-player offers the Season Tour

The single-player experience will feature the Season Tour which offers a "guide, that introduces the narrative component and gives players a kickstart through the Season Story. Every Season will be dedicated to its own set of Disney and Pixar characters, karts, tracks, and more, always giving players something new to discover from season to season." Then, in multiplayer, you'll have Local Freeplay mode and Private Track mode, "both of which allow players to create custom races," as well as and Ranked Multiplayer mode and Regulated Multiplayer mode.
