A Week Before Launch – Let’s Talk About What Makes JDM Special

Ossu,

We can hardly believe it – in just one week, JDM: Japanese Drift Master will be in your hands. What started as a dream shared by a small but passionate team is now about to hit the road. Before the engines roar and tires screech on launch day, we wanted to take a moment to reflect and highlight what makes our project stand out in the world of racing games.

For years, players have dreamed of an open-world racing experience set in the heart of Japan — and we’re delivering just that. From neon-lit city streets to misty mountain passes, JDM lets you explore a living, breathing world inspired by Japanese culture, car communities, and landscapes. Cruise, drift, race, or just enjoy the scenery – it’s up to you.

Drift battles and heartfelt moments – JDM tells its story like no other racing game: through hand-drawn manga panels. Meet unique characters, rise through the underground racing scene, and uncover a narrative that blends arcade thrills with anime-style storytelling.
