Kartrider: Drift, the latest entry in Nexon’s colorful racing sim, is turning the key as it beings closed beta testing today.
Players looking to get in for a free ride ahead of Kartrider: Drift’s full launch can hop in for a scoot around the track today. The latest entry into Nexon’s own big ticket racing franchise begins close beta testing today, inviting racers to put the pedal down on 4 pm Pacific today, ending on December 15th at 5 am Pacific.
This upcoming competitive kart title steps away from more recent mobile editions of the Nexon franchise and allows players on both PC, Playstation, and Xbox platforms to choose a racer, pick a kart, and ride off against a cross platform grid of characters. PC players looking to grab the beta client should best check the Nexon launcher or Steam, while console owners looking to best their PC playing friends can find the client on respective storefronts. As the latest edition of Karrider, Drift takes the traditional thrills of arcade character racers and adds in a ton of additional customization. Anybody dabbling in the Closed Beta will be able to change up their ride to suit their tastes, as well as shape their avatar using unique character costumes while they show off some skills on the track.
The New Shift
17 new tracks will be available for anybody coming back to testing this time around, totalling as many as 33 tracks, 7 characters, 22 karts, and 55 kart customization. The focus of this event looks to be opening up more track testing while adding in kart customization and anybody who does log in will get a taste of that with an extensive range of daily rewards and customizations during beta. If you want a more concrete reason to go get into the third closed beta test, then anybody logging in and creating an account will nab a Pit Chief Brodi character skin when this free to play speedster goes live.
