New York, NY – Rockstar Games is proud to announce the fourth installment of its critically acclaimed and genre-defining Midnight Club franchise, Midnight Club: Los Angeles, is now available for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system. Midnight Club: LA Remix is also available for the PSP® (PlayStation® Portable) system. The titles will be available internationally on October 24.

“Midnight Club has always been about giving you freedom, whether racing, cruising or tuning your car. The game allows you to do what you want, when you want,” said Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games. “This is the first Midnight Club to be appearing on the current generation of hardware and San Diego’s hard work really shines in every aspect of the game.”

Developed by Rockstar San Diego, Midnight Club: Los Angeles provides a seamless, breathtaking environment for everyone who loves to compete. With no load times, no tracks, and no rules, the game allows players to race at breakneck speeds through an unbelievable recreation of Los Angeles.

“We have been working hard to make this game the fastest and most fun racer out there,” said Jay Panek, Midnight Club Producer at Rockstar San Diego. “From the look and feel of the city and cars, to the exciting races, we are proud of this game and can’t wait for racing fans to get their hands on it.”

A racing game is nothing without the great cars and Midnight Club: Los Angeles allows extensive customization of vehicles for both performance and appearance. Players can now fully personalize their officially licensed imports, tuners, classic muscle cars and motorcycles both inside and out with a dizzying array of licensed rims, body kits, interior upgrades, vinyls and more.

Midnight Club: LA Remix for the PSP system provides another incredible portable racing experience. Developed by Rockstar London, the game will take full advantage of the hardware to deliver the unrivaled sense of speed and style that the bestselling Midnight Club series is known for.

The racing experience in Midnight Club: Los Angeles is extended online at the Rockstar Social Club (www.rockstargames.com/socialclub) where players will be able to enter tournaments, share customized car photos, rate rides and track stats with other gamers.
