Cars 2 video game announced

Disney/Pixar made public today the first details about Cars 2: The Video Game, coming this June from Disney Interactive Studios.

Like the Toy Story 3 video game last year, this game is being developed by Disney subsidiary Avalanche Software in close collaboration with Pixar.

It will be available for Mac/PC, Nintendo DS, PlayStation 3, Wii, and Xbox 360 and will feature connectivity with the World of Cars Online. You can pre-order it now from Amazon.com.

The press release sums up the plot:

"Cars 2: The Video Game brings players inside the international training center CHROME (Command Headquarters for Recon Operations and Motorized Espionage), where they choose from more than 20 different characters and train to become world class spies.

As part of their international training, they will participate in simulated hazardous missions using high-tech gadgets to evade and slow down adversaries."

We'll doubtless hear more about the title and get gameplay trailers and final box art in the coming months.
