Disney Speedstorm Season 8 is bringing Pixar's Inside Out to the grid. With the Inside Out sequel now out in cinemas, it's not a huge surprise to see the original come to Disney Speedstorm.
Disney-Pixar's arcade racing game is showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon, as regular seasonal content is continuing to be added.
Let's dive into everything you need to know about Disney Speedstorm Season 8.
Characters
As with every new season in Disney Speedstorm, a roster of new characters are joining the race. Typically, four characters are added in each Speedstorm Seasonal update, but Gameloft has upped their game this time around with five coming in Season 8.
Joy, Fear, Anger, Sadness, and Disgust are available to take to the track. Joy, Fear, and Sadness are available to unlock as part of the Golden Pass, with the other two unlockable via the Season Tour.
Each new racer fits into the existing class system in the game. Joy is a Speedster Class Racer, Fear is a Defender, Anger is a Brawler, Disgust is a Trickster, and Sadness is a Defender Class Racer. Anxiety and Ennui will be available as mid-season racers.
Happy Riley, Sad Riley, Scared Riley, Disgusted Riley, Angry Riley, Riley's Dad, Riley's Mom, Jordan, Meg, The Forgetters, Frank and Dave, Fritz, Helicopter Pilot, Bing Bong, and Jangles the Clown are all also coming to Speedstorm in Season 8 as Crew members to support you during races.
