New Radio Stations Coming to GTA Online: Still Slipping Los Santos, Kult FM and The Music Locker, Plus Updates to Existing Radio Stations

Still Slipping Los Santos, Kult FM and The Music Locker Coming to the Radio Dial

Plus Extensive Updates to FlyLo FM and Worldwide FM in Grand Theft Auto Online’s Biggest Ever Musical Update

Alongside the grand opening of The Music Locker and its new slate of resident DJs, GTA Online’s musical universe further expands at the launch of The Cayo Perico Heist with the addition of three new radio stations, as well as brand new mixes arriving on hit stations FlyLo FM and Worldwide FM, for a whopping total of over 250 new tracks, making this the biggest ever musical update to GTA Online.

Still Slipping Los Santos

UK DJ Joy Orbison has set up shop in Los Santos with hopes of launching his own pirate radio station – Still Slipping Los Santos – out of Mirror Park. Joy is ready to deliver a seamless mix of house, techno, drill and drum-and-bass to the masses – the only problem is he’s having trouble getting a strong enough signal to reach beyond his neighborhood. If he’s going to take his sound city and statewide, he’s going to need some help getting started. Keep an eye out for opportunities to support your local disc-jockey on December 15th.

Kult FM 99.1

Tune in, turn on and space out to the sounds of Kult FM, hosted by Julian Casablancas of The Strokes and The Voidz. The guestlist is star-studded, with appearances from Mac DeMarco, David Cross and Tony Mac, and the station’s playlist spans from the Madchester sounds of Joy Division, New Order and A Certain Ratio to heavy throwbacks from Danzig, the Velvet Underground and Iggy Pop, and everything in between, plus the world exclusive premiere of a new track from The Voidz called “Alien Crime Lord.”

The Music Locker

Later this December, The Music Locker will debut its own radio station, bringing the sets and sounds of the hottest new club in Los Santos above ground and onto the airwaves. Featuring mixes from Keinemusik, along with genre-defying sets from Palms Trax and Moodymann, The Music Locker will be the go-to destination for house, disco and techno.

FlyLo FM

Grammy nominated producer and Los Santos beatmaker supreme, Flying Lotus is back with an all-new mix added to rotation on FlyLo FM, featuring guest appearances from Tierra Whack plus new tracks from Madlib, brand-new material from FlyLo himself, MF DOOM and a bunch of rare, exclusive and amazing surprises.

Worldwide FM

Globally renowned DJ, Gilles Peterson returns to add a new mix of New London Jazz, disco and world music for Worldwide FM featuring tracks from Kamasi Washington, Khruangbin, BADBADNOTGOOD and MF DOOM plus many, many more.

To keep the returning stations feeling fresh and to give everyone a chance to find some new favorites, FlyLo and Worldwide FM will be bumping the all-new mixes and tracks only for a period after launch, with the classics mixed back in over time.

Stay tuned to the Rockstar Newswire for the latest news on GTA Online music and The Cayo Perico Heist – coming December 15th.

PAC-MAN WAKA WAKA COMES TO SELECT AMAZON DEVICES FOR NEW GAMING ADVENTURE

New Alexa Skill Brings Newest PAC-MAN Game Adventure to Amazon’s Virtual Assistant

SANTA CLARA, Calif., (December 10, 2020) – Leading video game and interactive entertainment developer and publisher BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment America Inc. and developer Doppio Games today announced the launch of PAC-MAN™ WAKA WAKA, a new audio-based game for select Amazon devices. Best experienced with Echo Show devices, Fire TV Cube and screen-based devices like Samsung TVs with Alexa Built-in, PAC-MAN WAKA WAKA lets players talk to the iconic video game legend in his native Wakanese language. You can say “waka” to go right, “waki” to go left, “wiki” to go up, and “wika” to go down to direct PAC-MAN on a new adventure as he chomps his way through spectacular mazes, escaping ghosts and eating delicious fruit along the way.

Built by Doppio, the leading voice game developer founded by gaming veterans and makers of The Vortex and The 3% Challenge, PAC-MAN WAKA WAKA is a collection of new interactive games on Alexa. Players can explore wondrous new worlds, each with 15 mazes to guide PAC-MAN through, with new worlds being added in every regular content update. Each world features a plethora of goodies to uncover, including classic Power Pellets and the new Frenzy Mode, along with new game mechanics. Players can even experience a classic arcade mode starring the legendary ghosts: Inky, Pinky, Blinky and Clyde, with unique voice-controlled gameplay. For more competitive players, a complete set of special objectives lets gamers collect stars and earn high scores on each level.

The new Alexa Skill also introduces players to PAL, the PAC-Assistant and Liaison, who helps out PAC-Denizens in their day-to-day lives, just like Amazon Alexa helps customers in the real world. Players can even have insightful and fun conversations with PAC-MAN himself to get the video game hero to share his birthday, perform a beatbox, and express his moods in interesting new ways. 

“PAC-MAN is such a legendary and familiar hero, he’s become a household name. With PAC-MAN WAKA WAKA, he’s now fully officially become a member of the smart home,” said Pearl Lai, Brand Manager for BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment America Inc. “PAC-MAN has always been a welcoming game, something that can be enjoyed by people from every ‘waka’ life. We’re excited to welcome PAC-MAN into peoples’ homes to experience the joy of the series in a whole new way.” 

To access the new PAC-MAN WAKA WAKA experience, “enable” the skill and provide parent or guardian permission in the Alexa app. Once the skill is enabled, you can just say “Alexa, open PAC-MAN.” Access to the full suite of the content in PAC-MAN WAKA WAKA requires a subscription to the Waka Club – try it out for just $6.99 a month by asking in-game “Alex, what can I buy?” to learn more. Waka Club members have full access to all available Worlds and will get access to new Worlds as they are released. Without a subscription, players can enjoy the first five levels of Tutorial World, as well as the first level in each of the worlds, free of charge.
