At X019, Nexon revealed that KartRider: Drift is coming to Xbox One and PC, marking the franchise’s debut in the West.
KartRider screeched onto the scene in 2004, boasting over 300 million players across Asia and sparking an esports craze for the game in Korea. Now, it's coming to Xbox One and PC and will introduce Western fanbases to the intuitive and unique racing experiences. There’s something for everyone with three modes, including Time Attack for rookies and a breakneck Speed Mode, which uses “hard-to-master drifting techniques for players looking for a greater challenge.” In addition, players are encouraged to express their personality with extensive customisation options from their kart to their character design.
Nexon has an ambitious post-launch content strategy for KartRider: Drift, integrating “evolving seasonal updates” for a “stellar” online and competitive world. The KartRider: Drift closed beta begins on December 5 in North America and December 6 in Europe, and interested players will be able to sign up on the official website. Watch the game’s announcement trailer below.
