KartRider: Drift News

As we mentioned in the December 14 Dev Blog, we are preparing new changes for Item Mode in 2024 that we hope will provide more diverse gameplay.

Following up with the first sneak preview we revealed on December 21, today we'd like to share some footage of another new Character Skill.

(Note: The below description is an example only, and may be subject to change as development continues.)

• Active Skill Example:
  • Lodumani, born a pirate but now a fearless racer: Removes nearby item boxes and fills every empty item slot.

 
Here's an example video of Lodumani's active skill:



(Note: This clip contains footage of gameplay features still in development, and may differ from the final release.)

We hope you enjoy our next sneak preview just as much!

-The KartRider: Drift Team-

[Update 11:30 PM UTC JAN 30] The 1,800 Lucci Bonus for Racers that received a duplicate set of Sophia Emojis from this set of Twitch Drops will be distributed at approximately 12:00 AM UTC on January 31, 2024. Thank you for your patience.

[Update 3:10 AM UTC JAN 12] Some Racers may have already received the Sophia Emoji Set from the coupon distributed in the Season 3 Pit Stop video, and thus received a duplicate reward from this Twitch Drop campaign.

We are planning to distribute an equivalent value of 1,800 Lucci to affected Racers at an upcoming date.
