Race Alongside Your Favorite Emotions
Each Disney Speedstorm season injects fresh content into the free-to-play racer, and Season 8 promises to be no different. The biggest highlight is the arrival of five new playable characters: Joy, Fear, Anger, Disgust, and Sadness! But that’s not all. Two additional characters, Anxiety and Ennui, will join the race midway through the season.
How to Unlock Them All:
- Fear: Unlock Fear through the free tier of the Golden Pass or by collecting Fear racer shards through various methods like season boxes, star-up packs, Golden Pass tiers, Ranked Multiplayer rewards, and Season Tour chapters.
- Anger & Disgust: Anger will be available later in the season through the Season Tour, while Disgust can be unlocked via season boxes or through the “Emotions Can’t Quit” seasonal event.
- Sadness: Buckle up for some empathy! Sadness is exclusive to the premium tier of Golden Pass Part 2, which requires a separate purchase.
