Disney's Zootopia 2, the highly anticipated sequel to the 2016 animated film, pits Nick Wilde and Judy Hopps on their most challenging case yet. Embroiled in an incident that branded them as fugitives, Nick (voiced by Jason Bateman) and Judy (voiced by Ginnifer Goodwin) are on the run, trying to uncover the mysterious snake's true motives as well as the biggest conspiracy that will forever change Zootopia. Their high-stakes adventure puts their alliance to the test as they risk their friendship to save Zootopia, again.

Forget everything you know about Zootopia from almost a decade ago; this sequel is a must-watch, even for those who forgot to watch the first one. From start to finish, this sequel is a slithering thrill ride that the whole family can enjoy, not to mention the returning and new cast of characters that make this sequel roar with a wild blend of comedy, drama, action, and morals.

After nearly a decade, the instant classic Disney animated movie is back, wilder and more feral than before. It's one of the must-watch animated movies of the season, and you've got to see it to believe it.

Welcome back to Zootopia.

Project Motor Racing

Crafted by the same minds that brought you the Need For Speed Shift games and the Project CARS trilogy, Project Motor Racing is a no-nonsense racing simulation game that is sure to be one of the must-play racing games of 2025.

Project Motor Racing
Project Motor Racing

Top-billed as one of the must-play racing games of 2025, Project Motor Racing offers a no-gimmick racing action that sets the benchmark for racing games. With its initial car roster spanning half a century of motorsports from classic racers, Group C, LMP1, GT3, to LMDh, every race car is available for you to drive from the start, with more to come via DLC.

Backed by scientific research and top motorsport experts, including former Stig Ben Collins, Project Motor Racing introduces the True2Track system. This innovative system features laser-scanned versions of world-renowned circuits, from Bathurst and Daytona to the Nurburgring. Each track includes dynamic weather conditions, drying lines, rubber buildup, real drainage, and 24-hour cycles. No matter which track you choose, the conditions will always change, so stay alert.

The main course of the game is its survival-style career mode, where your financial status determines the fate of your racing career. At the start, players can decide which financial difficulty they can take on, a setup broadly similar to the EA Sports F1 series' My Team feature. Players can either start with having low budget or with extremely high funding enough to invest in top-tier racing classes. With that settled, they can decide to set up which region their team will be based in, which affects travel costs and car deliveries. There are various sponsors to tackle in career mode, with some requiring you to clear complex challenges and some providing you with useful perks. Of course, winning races will rake you in tons of cash, but additional costs, not to mention repair costs, will slowly cripple your wallet, and if you're not careful, consider yourself bankrupt. Be mindful of your budget and fight your way to become a world champion.

There are various features in Project Motor Racing, such as cross-platform online multiplayer for both casual and serious racers, time trials, and Mods. Yes, there are Mods similar to those in the Assetto Corsa games. Players like you and me can create mods for both PC and console users, aiming to personalise their experience. Be aware, achievements will be disabled once Mods are active.

From its roster of racecars spanning half a century of motorsport, laser-scanned world circuits, survival-style survival mode, and other ways and means to enjoy this game, Project Motor Racing is the new gold standard for racing simulation games. If you want a no-nonsense racing game that promises to give you the same sort of action as real motorsports, consider this.
