Q-Games Takes PixelJunk Racers For A Second Lap
Q-Games is now known for their iconic and quirky PixelJunk series, and much credit is owed to the original PixelJunk title – Racers – for helping establish the franchise as a downloadable champion. Because Racers was Q’s first project, the decision was recently made to revisit it and integrate trophies. Thus, PixelJunk Racers: 2nd Lap was born.
In this reworked version the difficulty has been tweaked thanks to player feedback, and a global ranking system integrated. One of the cooler bonus features is the inclusion of a Ghost Attack mode. This mode looks for the rankings of the top players in the world and allows you to race against a ghost car driving their best time.
No word on how much Second Lap will cost as a standalone release, but if you already had the original Racers title the content won’t cost you a penny. PixelJunk Racers: Second Lap hits PSN later this summer.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
