Anki Overdrive Fast & Furious Edition arriving in Canada on September 24

Anki, has a surprise for Fast & Furious fans. Anki Overdrive, which combines actual slot cars, a track, the power of mixed reality and solid gameplay now features the Anki OVERDRIVE: Fast & Furious Edition. Arriving in the U.S. and Canada on Sept. 24.

Blending the most thrilling elements of Anki’s hit battle-racing game – an unprecedented level of customization and interaction in a physical game, driven by powerful A.I. – with the adrenaline-fueled world of Fast & Furious.  Not only can you race cars in an intense and action-packed setting, complete with voice overs from Fast & Future characters, you also get to use various weapons and add-ons to take out the competition.

We're currently testing the kit and were impressed at how easy it was to set up the tracks as well as master control of the vehicles and the weapons. Stay tuned for a full review coming soon.

Anki OVERDRIVE: Fast & Furious Edition pits players against the Toretto crew, including Dom, Hobbs, Letty and Tej. The iconic voices of the Fast & Furious characters help bring movie-like moments to life as players race and battle against their friends, family or the A.I. characters in two meticulously detailed robotic Supercars inspired by the high-octane vehicles from the films, including:  

● International MXT –  Hobbs’ iconic truck drives like its owner: Tough and steady. It rolls over obstacles, protected by its plated armor. The MXT’s weapons are blunt and direct, causing massive destruction. Its primary weapon, the rocket launcher, fires a deadly missile with a huge area of effect that wipes out everything in its path.

● Ice Charger – Dominic Toretto built his car for one purpose: Speed. He has no problem playing fast and loose, so long as he wins. Dom’s Ice Charger uses a Grappling Hook to gain advantage. Fire it into cars to pull yourself closer and slow down opponents.  

With Anki OVERDRIVE: Fast & Furious Edition, even the modular track pieces get more furious. Exclusive to the game is a new Power Zone track piece that triggers a massive “hack” that disables nearby opponents when players drive through it.   Anki OVERDRIVE: Fast & Furious Edition is compatible with the existing Anki OVERDRIVE product ecosystem, including previously released Supercars and Expansion Kits. In order to play, the game requires a separate, free-to-download Anki OVERDRIVE: Fast & Furious Edition app for iOS, Android or Fire OS, and compatible device (see here for list of compatible devices).
