Drifting Meets Parking Garages in Parking Garage Rally Circuit, Out Today!

Mario Kart meets SEGA Saturn in retro-inspired arcade rally racer featuring crazy courses, online battles and more

Los Angeles, CA – September 20th 2024 – Solo-dev Walaber’s retro-inspired arcade rally racer, Parking Garage Rally Circuit, is available today on PC for $9.99 / £8.50 / 9,75€, ahead of a potential Switch and Sega Saturn release in the future. Drift around parking garages set across the USA using tight controls and chainable Mario Kart-style boosts. Sales of the title will determine its future, with Walaber pledging to release a Nintendo Switch version if the game sells 50,000 copies and a Sega Saturn version if it sells 100,000!

The “Parking Garage Rally Circuit” tour takes you to parking garages across the US, transformed into race courses (and occasionally beset by the odd falling rock or lighting strike, but don’t worry about that). Designed to look, feel and sound like a lost Sega Saturn game that could have been released in 1998, Parking Garage Rally Circuit delivers delightfully fun time trial racing that’s easy to pick up and play but requires skill to master as you unlock new car classes and compete to top the leaderboards.

Parking Garage Rally Circuit features 8 tracks for you to unlock, along with three progressively harder car classes to race with. As you refine your times by mastering the game’s effortless and compelling drifting system, the game will pull in ever tougher ghosts based on the runs of other players on the leaderboards for you to compete against, always giving you a new challenge to aim for.

If that’s not enough for you, you can also head online to create and join lobbies of up to 8 players and race on any track, with any car class, gaining points after each race. The game also features an arcade-style ‘Endurance’ mode where you keep doing laps until you run out of time for added replayability. There are also cheat codes in the game for players to discover and unlock fun modifiers, as well as special cars and tracks.

The game also features an amazing all-original soundtrack composed by The Holophonics, which is available for purchase on Steam, and is available on all major music streaming services now!

Crossout has taken a step forward

The new update brings mecha-style battles

Gaijin Entertainment announces the release of the “Next Step” major content update for the post-apocalyptic online action game Crossout. Pilots and designers of armored vehicles and armored aircraft get access to mecha-style battle walkers, a completely new type of armored combat vehicle. A new “The Way to the Top” map and the new “For the Emperor” brawl are also a part of the update.

Mecha legs are a new type of chassis for armored vehicles that can be used in conjunction with other parts and weapons to build your own unique combat vehicle. Several leg options are available, differing in characteristics, design and special capabilities. For example, the “Tengu” model allows you to dash towards the enemy, and the “RN-M Dino” allows you to lift off from the ground for a short time. Armored vehicles with new mecha legs can take part in battles in PvP battles marked as “Arcade”, all PvE raids, and certain brawls.

Arcade is a new permanent type of PvP  where all vehicles, including walkers and armored aircraft, can participate. The performance of some modules is modified (i.e. speed and weapon damage are increased) to ensure the most dynamic battles. Battles are held in a team-on-team format, with respawn after death enabled. To win in “Arcade”, you need to pick up capsules that remain at the site of the death of opponents, and save the capsules of fallen allies before the enemy team gets to them.

Simultaneously with the release of the update, a new season of the “Next Step” battle pass started, among the rewards of which are new weapons, modules for armored vehicles, cosmetic items and resources. You can read more about them in the development diaries on the official website of the game.
