It's Like Micro-Machines, Without The Huge Pencils.

Racers, racing? Did you like that one? It took an entire degree in journalism for us to be able to come up with stuff like that. Bet you wish you went to Uni now don’t you? Anyway, yes. PixelJunk Racers – the black-sheep in the PixelJunk franchise. It’s not that it wasn’t any good (it was), it’s just that the game’s been overshadowed by the likes of Shooter, Eden and Monsters. Q-Games aim to rectify that with a cheap and cheerful DLC pack for the top-down racer — PixelJunk Racers: 2nd Lap.

According to Japanese specialists Andriasang, the update pack will launch on the Japanese PSN this coming July 1st. It’ll sell for ¥500, roughly $5.50 in American money.The pack will add trophy support and a new Ghost Attack Mode. Hopefully the Western release won’t be far behind. We’re looking forward to jumping into this.

Yo, You Want More PixelJunk Racers?

A mysterious rating by the ESRB for PixelJunk Racers “2nd Lap” suggests we’re due a dose of new PixelJunk Racers content anytime soon. It almost seems traditional for a PixelJunk title to get some extra DLC somewhere down the line, so if you were a fan of Racers we suggest keeping your ears to the ground for an official announcement of 2nd Lap.
