Our take on Wheel World
Rather than treating racing as a series of separate tracks, the game places events inside a semi-open world with secrets, exploration, bike building, and a world-saving ritual. Its central goal is not only winning races but recovering parts needed to change the setting’s fate.
What is Wheel World?
Play as Kat, a cyclist chosen by ancient spirits, in a semi-open world built around racing, exploration, and bike customization.
Compete against elite teams and unusual rivals, search the landscape for rare components, and tailor the bike to different riding styles. The story follows Kat’s effort to recover stolen Legendary parts and complete the Great Shift ritual before Wheel World collapses. Hidden secrets and scenic areas sit alongside races that test speed and riding skill. An original soundtrack from Italians Do It Better accompanies the races and exploration.
