Nexon's upcoming kart racing game KartRider: Drift is coming to PS4, PlayStation announced today during State of Play. The free-to-play game will also receive a beta test in December.
KartRider: Drift is the latest in a series of kart racers dating back to 2004, with Crazyracing Kartrider primarily based in Southeast Asia. This new game is also in development for PC, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S and will support cross play and cross progress across all platforms.
The closed beta version of the game will be released on PS8 on December 4. Two modes, seven playable characters and various customization options will be enabled. Item Mode features team-based competitions where items on tracks allow players to attack and defend. Speed Mode, on the other hand, emphasizes fast driving and building power-ups.
Nexon states that registrations for the beta will be posted on the website soon. Both the game and beta testing will likely be playable on PS5 thanks to backward compatibility. While Nexon hasn't given a specific date yet, it's currently scheduled for full launch on PC and Xbox this year and PS4 next year.
