Team Mitchell Kart

***Team Mitchell Kart*** is an upcoming 2019 kart racing game and a spinoff from *Nickelodeon's Mitchell Van Morgan* series and a direct sequel to Mitchell Kart Deluxe developed by Sumo Digital and Rainbow Studios and published by THQ Nordic in association with Nickelodeon. Controlling of one of 25 characters from the series' cast, players compete in races using sports cars, go-karts & even motorcycles just like it's prequels. They view gameplay from a third-person perspective while performing tricks, drifting, and collecting power-ups. *Team Mitchell Kart* differs from traditional kart racers because of its focus on cooperative gameplay, akin to the kind featured in *Splatoon* (2015) and *Overwatch* (2016)—the player is part of a team of racers and win races through efficiency rather than speed. Game modes include earning competing to earn points, time trials, customizing the racing rules, and a story-driven campaign that serves as a tutorial.

The game's existence came to light when a Sumo Digital memo leaked in January 2019, with THQ Nordic officially confirming it the following May. *Team Mitchell Kart* is scheduled to be released on May 29, 2019 for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Windows PC, and Xbox One.

While the gentle and chatty Dodon Pa seems only interested in having Mitchell and co. as racers in his Grand Prix, his intentions are a complete mystery and might be more sinister in nature.
