KartRider: Drift News

Hello Racers,

We would like to thank all Racers that have been waiting for the next KartRider: Drift update.

In my first Dev Blog after being appointed Director, I mentioned that we were going back to square one in preparation of making some big changes to KartRider: Drift. It took time to apply those changes to the game.

Since this patch required some major structural changes to many systems in KartRider: Drift, the scale of work was quite large, and has taken up much of the last few months. As a result, we made you wait too long for this update, which is not what we wanted.

I would like to express my sincere apologies for this.

Currently, we are working as hard as we can to release the new update as soon as possible, and we will be able to present a new KartRider: Drift to our Racers in February.

We will provide more details next week and, once again, thank you for your patience.

Thank you,

-Director Jaewoo Seo and the KartRider: Drift Team-

Hey Racers,

We apologize for the late notice on this as we stay focused on the important changes coming with our next update.

Hey Racers,

In our next update, we will be changing the rewards for License missions, as well as some rewards for Momentum Missions. The current slate of rewards will be available until the next update arrives, and we recommend that Racers claim all of their earned License Rewards and Momentum Mission Rewards prior to that update.

Thank you,

Hey Racers,

Today, we'd like to reveal some in-game screenshots of the new Chat system that we mentioned in last week's Sneak Preview.

The Chat feature opens a Chat window on the left side of the screen, letting you chat with other Racers.

Check out the screenshot below for an early look at the Chat system in action:



(Note: This image contains gameplay features that are still in development, and may differ from the final release.)

In addition to the Chat system, we're currently working on a Balloon ON/OFF toggle that will let you make your equipped Balloon invisible to you during a race, and other settings features such as a camera option that allows you to control the camera speed during races.

We hope you enjoy our next sneak preview!

Thank you,

-The KartRider: Drift Team-
