Mario Kart Meets SEGA Saturn In Parking Garage Rally Circuit, Coming To PC On September 20th

Release date unveiled in new trailer for retro-inspired arcade rally racer showing off crazy courses, online battles and more

Los Angeles, CA – September 5th 2024 – Solo-dev Walaber is pleased to announce that Parking Garage Rally Circuit will be coming to PC on September 20th, ahead of a potential Switch and Sega Saturn release in the future. A new release date trailer offers a look at the arcade racer where you drift around parking garages using tight controls and chainable Mario Kart-style boosts. If the game sells 50,000 copies, it will be making its way to Switch in the future and, if it sells 100,000, it will also get a Sega Saturn version!

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 will also feature an arcade-style ‘Endurance’ mode where you keep doing laps until you run out of time, with each checkpoint adding a diminishing amount of time. 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 original soundtrack composed by The Holophonics, which will be available for purchase on Steam, as well as all major music streaming services once the game launches.

“I’m really excited to release Parking Garage Rally Circuit on PC on September 20th,” said Tim FitzRandolph, the solo dev behind the Walaber name. “This game started as a fun little game jam inspired by my affection for the Sega Saturn, but it has had such a great response from people and has grown into something far bigger. I hope people have as much fun playing it as I have had developing it!”

About Walaber

A lifelong and constant creator, Tim found his calling in game development.  Tim got his start in the games industry at Disney, creating the company’s biggest early App Store successes “JellyCar” and “Where’s My Water?”. Tim is now a full-time independent creator, releasing solo games under the name “Walaber” (Pro Gymnast SimulatorJellyCar), and is also half of the two-person game company “Toyful Games” (Very Very Valet).

Warner Bros. Games have released a new Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns gameplay trailer spotlighting Sektor, one of six new playable characters coming to Mortal Kombat 1 as part of the expansion. The trailer features an in-depth look at Sektor’sabilities and moveset, along with story elements that provide insight into her unique role within the reimagined Mortal Kombat 1 Universe.

This vast knowledge of weaponry and formidable martial skills passed down from her parents make Sektor a kombatant like no other. Sensing a kindred spirit, Sub-Zero shared with her his grand vision for the Lin Kuei’s future and chose her to become his most trusted lieutenant. Now Sektor will force the Lin Kuei to evolve and those who cannot change will be eliminated. 

Sektor’s deadly moveset is on full display in the new trailer, showcasing her advanced weaponry to demolish opponents, including a flamethrower, missile strikes, and rocket thrusters for enhanced movement and hovering ability. The video also teases Sektor’s Animality, the brutal finishing move allowing her to morph into a rhinoceros to annihilate her defeated opponents. The fan favourite Animalities will be available as a free content update for all Mortal Kombat 1 owners in conjunction with the Mortal Kombat 1: Khaos Reigns release on Sept. 25 (AEST).
