Gameloft has given us a sneak peek at its latest track for the upcoming free-to-play racer, Disney Speedstorm. In a teaser video shared on Twitter and YouTube, it looks like we're going to Beast's Castle, as the racers swerve past the Enchanted Rose and between teacups in this Beauty and the Beast-inspired course.
The track looks like it's set partially on a grand dinner table, adorned with treats, plates, cutlery, glasses, and more. Then, later on, there are library walls full of books, and ticking clock pendulums that get in your way. Sounds like Beast took some inspiration from Mario Kart DS' Tick Tock Clock, there! These little references to Chip and Cogsworth from the 1991 film are charming, and we hope Lumière, Mrs. Potts, Wardrobe, and others, will get their own highlights.
Both Belle and Beast will be playable in the racer, too, but why the iconic 'Be Our Guest' hasn't been remixed here is beyond us! Still, it looks like this course will be the belle of the ball when Disney Speedstorm launches later this summer.
Share what you think of the new course in the comments.

I don't know if it's the lighting or the textures, but those stages really look like they're lacking some life.
This could have been cool, perhaps, if it was a regular retail game. (not free-to-play)
@Abeedo I disagree but I do think I know where you are coming from. I think the stage is very beautiful and will be a lot of fun for huge Disney fans. I think the problem lies with the mechanics of the racing itself. It looks very stiff, which I think makes it looks a little on the cheaper side. They need to add more motion (or the feeling of it. ) I think there could be a lot of potential for this game, but I know greed will beat out any creativity and fun.
Disney owns so many IPS at this point, but when it comes to crossovers they always use the same safe ones: It is always Mickey, Frozen, Beauty and the Beast, etc.
Why not go full bonkers and bring in all the other franchises into the mix? Who cares at this point? Bring in Homer Simpson, Bender, Scrat from Ice Age, the Marvel superheroes, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Dog the Bounty Hunter, Peter Griffin, Indiana Jones, Darth Vadder, Sora from KH, Vill Vandom from W.I.T.C.H., Kermit the Frog, Jack Skellington, etc.
SEE MY VEST SEE MY VEST MADE FROM REAL GORILLA CHEST!
@RareFan YES that's all I want from this game a Muppet stage!
They should've announced this at the same time as a beta or something and be like 'Be our guest, be our guest, put our servers to the test!'.
@Abeedo I think it's because there aren't small details like toadstools around the track watching the race. It's just the big movement of the stuff that's part of the track vs the stuff on the side that give it the life you're looking for.
@Abeedo It might also be the aesthetic they are going for, which seems to be a toy style like Disney Infinity was. It brings all the IPs together without having to do a different style for almost every IP.
Looking good for someone who has only a little interest in racing games will definitely check it out since I have absolutely no problems with free games. I mean the monetization can't be as bad as Chocobo GP right?! Right..?
@Fizza A great idea 🤣
I think it will control well, it's from Gameloft who have released Asphalt 9 already on Switch..
Asphalt 9 is probably my most enjoyed free to play game ever, I've spent way more hours on the game than I ever thought I would...
I'm looking forward to this I have to say..
It’s weird, it’s very clearly a specific and iconic scene from the film…but it doesn’t feel like it.
I hate being so negative about something that’s had such work put into it, but the direction just feels like it’s missed the mark for me.
@SteamEngenius If they mess up more than Chocobo GP did - $50 plus microtransactions up to $89.99 - they may as well just cancel it now. 🤑
I think it looks fine for a free to play kart racer on Switch, looking forward to giving it a try.
@Kermit1 haven't we ever got a Muppet racer?! I would love to race as Beaker or my favourite king prawn, okay! 😂❤️
So you can race through the entire be our guest song.... That's amazing! 😂😍
@garfreek Ya there was one on ps1 but it's kinda rare now...
@Kermit1 definitely looking that up! (emulation is a good replacement sometimes! )
@garfreek I'd love to emulate it but my pc is not really made for that.
@Kermit1 then mine isn't either probably! 😂🤣
@garfreek you never know...🤣😉
