Players of all ages can race as fan favourite characters from the number 1 preschool Dinosaur TV series, Gigantosaurus, with four person multiplayer.

Friday, February 17th, 2023: Outright Games, the leading publisher of family-friendly interactive entertainment, in partnership with Cyber Group Studios, a leading producer and distributor of animated series for children and families worldwide, are pleased to announce the release of Gigantosaurus: Dino Karttoday. The first ever kart racing game in the Gigantosaurus franchise, is now available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and PC.

This brand new Gigantosaurus experience offers hours of story content and allows players to compete as eight different playable characters from the hit TV series including fan favourites, Bill, Mazu, Rocky and Tiny. Play solo or against family and friends with up to four person split-screen multiplayer across fifteen tracks through the land of Cretacia.

Gigantosaurus: Dino Kart puts players in the driver seat as they traversethrough three different environments in the Savannah, Jungle, and Mount Oblivion Cups, picking up special skills to help you win the race, including “Giganto’s Roar” – a sound that will slow down all opponents within a certain range.  Players who dino-soar through the finish lines can take on “Jetpack” tracks that allow for unique and fun layouts to test their abilities.

Taking inspiration from the well-received racing segments of the previous game Gigantosaurus: The Game and the season 1, episode 14 “Racing Giganto” of the Gigantosaurus series, developer 3DClouds expanded the concept into a game format, with playable characters, skills and natural obstacles to provide an element of unpredictability within the tracks. Designed with the whole family in mind, the game features 3 levels of difficulty for different age ranges and three playable modes, including “play with friends” which features up to 4 players couch co-op, guaranteeing fun for the whole family. Even the littlest players are accounted for with instant race mode which randomly selects a character and track, auto-steering and auto accelerating karts and on-screen text tips read aloud by Mazu the brainy Ankylosaurus, making it perfect for the whole family to enjoy. Each character additionally has its own unique vehicle skins, allowing you to pick your favourites before you race.

Gigantosaurus: Dino Kart is based on the successful animated TV series Gigantosaurus, currently streaming worldwide on Disney+ and Netflix and airing internationally on major channels such as Disney Junior (worldwide), France Télévisions, POP (UK), Super RTL (Germany), RAI yoyo (Italy), RTVE – Clan (Spain), CCTV (China), TV Azteca (Mexico) and NHK (Japan). Produced by Cyber Group Studios, the series now counting 3 seasons of 52-episodes x 11 minutes each, is based on Jonny Duddle’s book published by Bonnier Books UK Ltd, which has sold over 600,000 copies worldwide. The animated series follows the adventures of four young dinos – Rocky, Bill, Tiny, and Mazu – as they go on quests to explore their world, face their fears, work together to solve problems, learn more about the mysterious Gigantosaurus himself – and have lots of fun all along the way. 

Nick Ricks, Head of Games at Outright Games said, ‘We’re thrilled to celebrate the release of our second Gigantosaurus collaboration – Gigantosarus: Dino Kart – with our friends at Cyber Group Studios. We wanted to build on the well-received racing segments from Gigantosaurus: The Game, as well as adding accessibility features for the brand’s first kart racer. With the inclusion of auto steering karts, instant race mode and racing tips that can be read from the screen or heard via VO, we have ensured the game is fully accessible to the brands core target audience and will provide a suitable challenge for players of all ages. With the individualised karts and power-ups, tailored to each distinctive character, fans can enjoy a whole new immersive way to experience the world of Gigantosaurus.’

Dominique Bourse Chairman and CEO and Thierry Braille, Vice President Interactive and Videogame Division at Cyber Group Studios said, ‘It has been a wonderful experience working with Outright Games on a second Gigantosaurus game. For us it is crucial to work with a partner who fully understands the Gigantosaurus brand, from knowing the age range of the audience and building suitable game mechanics for said audience. Together we have also been able to successfully translate the animated series into a game format, from a faithful recreation of Cretacia and our integration of 8 characters from the show – including Gigantosaurus himself – fans will be able to engage with the brand in a whole new way.’

Alex de Nittis, Game Designer at 3DClouds said ‘As a developer, our background is very tied to creating arcade racing games, with Gigantosaurus: Dino Kart being our fifth kart racer collaboration with Outright Games, deliberately developed with pre-school players in mind. With every new project we are able to carry over our learnings from the previous one, allowing each game to become more ambitious and more importantly, include new and improved accessibility features. Not only have we continued our rigorous playtesting with children, to ensure the game functions for them, but we have expanded on functions to include completely new functions like auto acceleration, to further simplify the driving phase and allow even the youngest players to get to know the game at their own pace without missing out on the fun of the race.’

Gigantosaurus: Dino Kartis available to purchase now on Nintendo Switch and digitally on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and PC.

Civilization VI: Leader Pass – Rulers of The Sahara Pack Now Available!

The next DLC pack for Civilization VI: Leader Pass – Rulers of the Sahara – is now available! Revisit the cradle of humanity with Rulers of the Sahara Pack*, which includes Ramses (Egypt), Ptolemaic Cleopatra (Egypt) and King Sundiata Keita (Mali). Check out the First Look here; specific details about the Leaders are also available below. 

Ramses (Egypt)

After assuming the throne in his mid 20s, Ramses went on to become one of the greatest and most powerful pharaohs of the Egyptian Empire. He’s remembered not only for his military campaigns, but also for ambitious building projects like the temples at Abu Simbel and Ramsseum. In-game, this translates to a desire to improve as many tiles as possible, as well as a dislike of Civilizations that fail to improve their tiles or that found National Parks.

New Ability: Abu Simbel

• Gain Culture equal to 15% of the construction cost when finishing Buildings and 30% when completing Wonders.

Ptolemaic Cleopatra (Egypt)

In the early days of Cleopatra’s reign, even before the conflict with her brother Ptolemy XIII, she had to deal with a number of pressing issues including debts to the Roman Republic and a drought-induced famine. Concerned that her subjects in Alexandria wouldn’t have enough to eat and that this could lead to unrest, Cleopatra opened granaries to the public and decreed that crops could no longer be traded away from the capital. Since Egypt was a significant source of food for Rome even during these challenging times, Cleopatra likes Civilizations with high food output and dislikes those with low food output. 

New Ability: Arrival of Hapi

• Resources along floodplains receive +1 food and +1 culture.
• +1 appeal on floodplains instead of standard -1.

King Sundiata Keita (Mali)**

Known as the Lion of Mali, Sundiata Keita grew up being unable to walk; when his father died, he and his mother were exiled to the kingdom of Mema. After proving himself able to hunt and fight there, he returned home to Mali to defeat the sorcerer-king Soumaoro Kante, inspiring generations of poets to tell his story in the historical epic Sunjata. Sundiata’s Lion of Mali agenda causes him to dislike Civilizations who compete for Tourism.

New Ability: Sogolon

• It costs 20% less gold to Recruit Great People and the Market gains 2 Great Writing slots.
• Great Works of Writing receive +4 Gold and +2 Production.

Civilization VI: Leader Pass*** is a new season pass that adds 18 new playable leader selections to Civilization VI.

Showcase Up to 50 Vehicles with the New Eclipse Blvd Garage – Plus, New Toundra Panthere Sports Car Available for a Limited Time, Citywide Crime Wave Heats Up with Street Dealers, Stash Houses, Daily Dead Drops, and More

It’s time to upsize and glamorize that glorious vehicle collection of yours. There’s a brand-new multi-floor garage located right on iconic Eclipse Boulevard in Los Santos that offers capacity for up to 50 vehicles and unique amenities across five spacious floors. Additionally, GTA+ Members can claim theirs for free through March 15.

Each floor features its own separate hangout space, complete with seating, drinks, TVs, and surveillance to keep an eye on the riffraff outside. Multiple distinct decoration styles can be previewed, changed, and applied to each individual floor from the Eclipse Blvd Garage section of the Interaction Menu while inside the garage.

This lavish new vehicular and social sanctuary is now available for purchase in GTA Online directly from Dynasty 8’s in-game website.

The New Toundra Panthere Sports Car: Available Through February 22

A French lightweight sports car might seem like the automotive equivalent of a slimline cigarette, but this elegant beauty still packs a killer punch. The Toundra Panthere (Sports) is available through February 22 from Legendary Motorsport and at the Premium Deluxe Motorsport showroom.

Los Santos Drug Wars Escalation
As the Fooliganz’ potent psychedelics worm their way further into the city’s nervous system, lawbreakers grow bolder and more brash than ever. Street Dealers are desperate for new hookups, while lowly criminals are busy sticking up storefronts around the city and rival gangs are setting up Stash Houses that are ripe to get ripped off. And dead drops in the form of G’s Caches are being left in public areas. Capitalize on these new developments to turn them into money-making opportunities.

Rob New Daily Stash Houses

Be on the lookout for the new Daily Stash House popping up on your map — these safehouses contain hoarded GTA$ or product, but they’re also packed with enemies. A successful invasion requires you to kick down the door, clear out your foes, locate the combination for the safe, and crack it to walk away with someone else’s drugs or money.

New Dead Drops: Retrieve G’s Cache

The dead drop is a classic drug-dealing maneuver. In theory, a suspicious package left out in the open will attract less attention than peddlers meeting up to exchange illegal contraband.

G’s Cache is a new daily dead drop that will pop up on the map. Once close by, look for a red flashing light and the sound of beeping. Fight off any competition, and a lump sum of GTA$, ammunition, and snacks is yours for the taking.

And this week, get 50% extra bonus GTA$ and RP for successfully retrieving G’s Cache.

Supply New Street Dealers

Street Dealers are the lifeblood of the drug trade — hanging out on seedy corners, making hand-to-hand exchanges, changing locations daily, and paying premiums according to market supply. Make an extra 50% GTA$ this week by selling them Cocaine, Meth, Weed, and Acid if have the stock (you’ll need to own the Acid Lab or the corresponding drug-based MC Business).

TIP: Each Street Dealer has a drug of choice that they will offer a premium price for, so strike while the iron’s hot to maximize your profits.

Stopping Shop Robberies

Not even brick-and-mortar establishments are safe from the rising crime wave as desperate thieves are targeting stores around LS for an easy payday. Interrupt a Shop Robbery by chasing down the backpacked burglar and taking them out. From there, return the stolen cash or keep it for yourself — with 2X GTA$ and RP through February 22.

Rare New Rewards for Riding the Crime Wave

Premium Test Ride: Pegassi Weaponized Ignus
