If you like mandatory co-op games, this one's for you: introducing WheelMates, a new two-player co-op action-adventure where each player controls an R/C car in the house of an eccentric scientist, working together in order to clear challenges and obstacles. It's in development for Steam for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, and it's due out this year.
This is no sim, though. You'll have power-ups like jump boosters, magnet wheels, and grappling hooks in order to help you navigate the house and try to find the scientist homeowner, who's missing. Play in split-screen or online, but you'll need two players. Check out the announcement trailer above and the first screenshots in the gallery below.
The developers at FireVolt cite Re-Volt and classic metroidvanias as inspirations for WheelMates. You'll be able to try it out soon, FireVolt said it's planning a playtest for next month. Wishlist it on Steam if you're interested.
