Back in 2023, a demo for an open-world racer called JDM: Japanese Drift Master became the unexpected darling of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Steam Next Fest, thanks to its impressive visuals, a𝄹nime inspirations, and deep car handling.

Now, fin🦹ally, developer Gaming Factory h🌼as committed to a March release date.

JDM: Japanese Drift Master officially launches on March 26, 2025 for PC across Steam, GOG, and the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Epic Games Store.

There's no word on price just yet, but if you want to try before you buy, there's a prologue demo currently availabl💝e on Steam.

Promising over𒈔 250km worth of roads to drive on, JDM takes place in the fictional Japanese prefecture of Guntama, an oꩲpen world location with loads of winding mountain roads and city streets to race around.

The game takes obvious insp🍌iration from the classic manga and anime series Initial D, and it'll feature a full story mode with manga-style cutscenes to play through.

I had a great time with JDM when I playe♑d that first demo, despite continuing to be absolutely abys🉐mal at drifting 💦in every racing game I play.

There's clearly a ton of depth to the driving, with the devs billing it as a "simcade racer" – meaning it's not fully beholden to simulation, but you ♍should expect more nuance to the driving than you'd see in a fully arcade-style game. It doesn't hurt that it looks gorgeously d💫etailed too.

Since the release of that demo, the devs have locked down some notable car licenses including Nissan, Mazda, and Subaru, and they tease in a 🎀p💛ress release that they're "not done with our announcements yet."

Hopefully whatever announcements c🐭ome in the future🧸 will include a Toyota deal, because getting a Trueno AE86 in here for the full Initial D vibes would be beyond perfect.
