Press release:
September 15 2022.
The UK-based indie games developer Repixel8 and CGA Studio Games are today very happy and excited to announce that their 90s-style arcade racer “Formula Retro Racing – World Tour” (which is the next entry in the popular Formula Retro Racing series), is coming to consoles on December 14th, 2022 (the PC version of “Formula Retro Racing – World Tour” is coming to Steam on March 31st, 2023).

World Tour will be shown for the first time at EGX 2022 next week in London, where players can get to grips with the new additions it brings to the track – both at the show and through a Steam demo.

Players will race across 8 new landmark-filled cities, including Tokyo, Paris and London. Multiple vehicle types are the biggest new addition in World Tour. Master the art of kissing the apex, as players get to grips with World Tour’s high-performance, muscle and standard race cars. Each one brings its own benefits and challenges to the track, and its up to players to find what works best for them.

Formula Retro Racing: World Tour features crisp low-poly HD visuals running at 60fps, 4-player split-screen multiplayer, online leaderboards and classic checkpoint racing. Realistic destruction physics provide a sense of authenticity, alongside snappy car handling that places you at the heart of the action.

Inspired by the likes of Virtua Racing, Ridge Racer and Sega Rally, this retro-inspired racer mixes the thrill of arcade racing with modern game design elements. Racing purists, and new fans alike, can pick up and play Formula Retro Racing: World Tour due to its focus on simplicity. However, deeper mechanics like slipstreams and varied handling across different car types provide endless hours of replayability in the chase for the very best lap times.

Formula Retro Racing: World Tour will launch on Xbox One, Xbox Series S | X, PS4, PS5 and Nintendo Switch on December 14, and Steam in early 2023.

A playable demo will launch on Steam alongside the game’s appearance at EGX 2022 in London between September 22 – 25.
