Parking Garage Rally Circuit DX

Walaber has announced Parking Garage Rally Circuit DX, an expanded version of retro-inspired arcade rally racer Parking Garage Rally Circuit, is available now on Wavedash and coming to consoles and PC via Steam in 2026. The game doubles the content of the original release and adds the European Tour, which features 8 multi-story car parks: Paris (Art Car Park), York (York Castle Car Park), Turin (Car Factory), Montpellier (Double Loop), Hamburg (Concert Hall), Copenhagen (Power Plant), Geneva (Parking Tour) and Naples (Cave Park).

“What started as the idea of delivering a little more content for Parking Garage Rally Circuit has expanded into what is effectively a whole new game that doubles the size of the original,” said developer Tim ‘Walaber’ Fitzrandolph. “I’m really excited that Parking Garage Rally Circuit DX is part of the launch of a new platform in Wavedash that reduces friction and complexity for players to discover and play games like mine. I look forward to coming back next year with more news on bringing DX and the European Tour to Steam and console players.”

Parking Garage Rally Circuit DX is available now on Wavedash for $14.99. Wavedash lets players launch the game directly from the browser within seconds without client download or special hardware. The game runs natively on browser instead of through cloud streaming, and players can share links for lobbies, allowing friends to join instantly.

Lastly, here’s an overview of the game, via Walaber:

Designed to look, feel and sound like a lost Sega Saturn game that could have been released in 1998, Parking Garage Rally Circuit DX delivers delightfully fun racing that’s easy to pick up and play with its chainable Mario Kart-style boosts, but requires skill to master as you unlock new car classes and compete to top the leaderboards. 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 and cheat codes to discover that unlock fun modifiers, as well as special cars and tracks.

Fortnite x Bleach Collaboration Leaked

Following yesterday’s official announcement of the Fortnite x Bleach collaboration, a new advertisement from Japan has leaked online. Users online have reported new ads popping up at Tokyo Station, which reveal a look at which characters will be joining the game.

These include Ichigo Kurosaki, Rukia Kuchiki, Uryuu Ishida, and Orihime Inoue. Ichigo and Rukia are wearing Soul Reaper outfits, Ishida is seen in his Sternritter outfit, and Orihime is in her school clothes. 

Similar to previous collaborations, we can expect all four of these characters to be available as paid skins in Fortnite. The sky in the advertisement seems related to the Blitz mode available in-game, but it is unclear at this time if that ties into the Bleach collaboration.

While these four characters are the only ones in the advertisement, there still could be future Bleach characters added to Fortnite. We’ve seen previous anime collaborations released in waves over time, with new characters joining down the line. There’s still hope for Chad, Urahara, and Yoruichi.

As revealed in the teaser trailer, the collaboration is set to officially launch this Saturday, December 20. Fans can expect news to be released during Jump Festa 2026, which is also set to showcase updates on the Bleach anime.

Devolver Digital and Massive Monster have announced the “Woolhaven” DLC for Cult of the Lamb launches on January 22, 2026 for $16.99. The new Woolhaven DLC includes two new dungeons, a new explorable areas, ranching, and much more for Cult of the Lamb.

Watch the new Cult of the Lamb Woolhaven trailer and showcase below: 

Here’s an overview of the new DLC, via Steam:

Winter descends, and a long-silenced deity stirs beneath the snow.

Yngya, the forgotten God of the lambs, summons you to restore the flock and reclaim what time has erased. But as you breathe life into what long passed, a creeping Rot awakens, spreading corruption through the sacred mountain the lambs once called home…

Not all who tread this peak come seeking redemption. Upon the frozen summit, a wolf prowls — his pack hungers for war with the covetous Gods. Deep within the hidden caverns, a shadowy figure waits, blade honed and patience fraying. Restless spirits drift along the ridges, each bound by former sins. The past was buried for good reason — will you unearth it, or will it consume you?

That which was sacred now rots, and nothing is as it seems. Last of the lambs, Woolhaven’s fate rests in your hooves.

Discover Woolhaven

Return the lost souls of Woolhaven to their spiritual home and learn the long-forgotten history of lambkind. Rebuild the fallen town to its former glory and reclaim the mountain to restore Yngya’s depleted power, but beware; there is always a price to be paid.

Survive the Winter

Endure harsh blizzards and freezing temperatures that threaten your Cult’s survival. Build new structures to keep your Cult warm and protect your Followers from frostbite and famine.

Explore The Mountain

Venture into a new realm battered by bitter storms, crawling with creatures corrupted with the Rot lurking beneath the snow. Battle through two vast new dungeons, where the echoes of the past refuse to rest. Every soul redeemed on the mountain defiles it further, threatening all of The Lands of the Old Faith. Can you undo the sins of the past?

Take up Ranching

Unlock ranching and breed rare animals that provide wool, warmth and when desperate, precious meat. Tame, ride and let your Followers care for these majestic creatures.

Cult of the Lamb is available now for macOS, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.

Lastly, Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 is available now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. The Steam page describes the game as follows:

You are the Nomad — an elder vampire awakening from a century-long slumber, new to the modern nights. Trapped in your Blood is a stranger’s voice. This entity, a vampire detective known as Fabien, will be your guide to 21st-century Seattle. You will explore the city through his eyes as well as those of the Nomad, as you revisit a cold case from a hundred years ago that is threatening undead and mortal society alike.

Blood sustains you and empowers your vampiric Disciplines. You’ll stalk and feed on the city’s population at night. Use your supernatural powers or raw persuasion on unsuspecting mortals to lure them into dark alleys and slake your Hunger. However, be cautious about breaking the Masquerade: revealing your true nature risks reprisals, starting with law enforcement and escalating from there. Remember, you are not the only creature that goes bump in the night.
