It continues to be the longest-running eSports league to date. As a franchise, KartRider has established a strong brand across Asian markets and a huge esports presence in South Korea with the official league starting in 2005. Originally launched in 2004, KartRider was the first title in Nexon’s kart racing series, and subsequently gained huge popularity in Asia and beyond. It was created from the ground up for dynamic, online gameplay where you challenge your friends across platforms. KartRider: Drift offers players the “fastest drift-fueled racing experience” with “stunning graphics delivered via Unreal Engine 4,” Nexon said.

Players can fine-tune these elements, tinkering to create the ultimate kart straight away.

Options in the game range from player-created kart skins to unique character costumes. Karts can be tailored in many ways, allowing players to transform their rides to reflect their inner racing persona. KartRider: Drift focuses on character and kart customization. The game will be available for PC on Nexon’s launcher and Steam, in addition to being available to console players on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Pacific time today and ends on December 15 at 5 a.m.
