After about two months of pre-season, Kartrider: Drift finally starts running in earnest.
Kartrider: Drift released an introduction video for ‘Season 1: New World’ starting on the 9th. Cho Jae-yoon Kart Rider: Drift Director introduced the contents of the update himself, and through the video, new characters, new themes and courses, enhancement systems, and collaboration information were revealed.
First, a new theme factory is added. The Factory is a huge kart factory created by Brody, where many of the game’s kart bodies are built. Since Brody, the owner of this place, is a person who doesn’t want to be in the spotlight, what kind of carts are made is a mystery. It is a theme that was also present in the previous Kartrider, but it provides a differentiated feeling from the previous one by adding mechanical elements and expressing a sense of weight using improved graphics.
Starting with this factory theme, 4 new characters will be added. The android ‘Toby’ created by Brody, the twin siblings ‘Hwirang’ and ‘Vivi’ who came to learn technology, and ‘Miso’, a girl who lost her memory and met near a factory, were revealed. In particular, users who saw the smile showed reactions such as ‘cute’, ‘I want to get it quickly’, and ‘the dark circles smell of darkness’.
Subsequently, a new track was produced with the same theme. 3 item tracks, ‘Beginning of Adventure’, ‘The Threat of Giant Sawtooth’, ‘Brodie’s Grumpy’, and 4 speed tracks, including ‘Incomplete Area 5’, will be added. The development team said, “We will be able to experience a different experience by adding the existing shortcut elements and various gimmicks that were not in the pre-season.”
In addition, the enhancement system that many users have been waiting for is added. There are three classes of carts: normal, advanced, and rare, and all carts can be upgraded to rare by consuming a certain amount of Luzzi. When the grade rises, a stat called ‘gear point’ is paid, and if you use it, you can freely enhance the desired element among speed and acceleration, booster acceleration, and booster time.
Finally, PC room benefits and collaboration information were also revealed. When playing in the PC room, you can receive exclusive characters such as ‘Outlaw Brody’ and ‘Little Uni’, as well as experience points and luzzi bonus benefits. The collaboration is conducted with Porsche and Maple Story, and among the three Porsche vehicles to appear, the ‘718 Boxster’ is paid to all users who log in during Season 1.
The first regular season of Kartrider: Drift will start on March 9th, and from the same day, the console platform will also be supported in addition to the existing PC and mobile.
