Here’s what John Blackburn, Vice President and General Manager, Avalanche Software, had to say about this new project:
It’s been an amazing experience to work with the team at Pixar once again for this new game for the beloved Cars franchise. With Cars 3: Driven to Win, we wanted to create a game that allows fans to extend their experience with this great film, and also feel the thrill of speeding through the tracks, participating in races, and mastering tricks and techniques for fun with the whole family.
