Crazyracing KartRider has been an extremely popular racing game in Korea for the past 15 years. 2019 marks the game's 15th anniversary, and the company is celebrating by releasing KartRider Drift on Xbox and PC in North America in 2020 which, barring a few forgettable false starts, represents the first time the franchise has made the trip across the Pacific. Eventually, publisher Nexon says that KartRider matchmaking will be global, which means that dewy-eyed Western players may come face to face with battle-tested KartRider veterans.
"Servers will be located in each region, and it will match by ping," says DS Choi, producer on KartRider Drift, detailing the ways he hopes his brand new international player base won't get stomped out of the gate from those who've had a 15-year head start. "But I'm pretty sure there's going to be a certain amount of that." To enhance your adventure and compliment your gameplay, you can Buy KartRider Drift Coins from the reputable sellers 5mmo.com in a safe secure environment and at cheap rates.
First released in 2004, KartRider, has amassed 300 million players in Asia and evolved into an esports phenomenon in Korea. Making its debut on Xbox One, including Xbox One X, KartRider: Drift is a Cross-platform Free-to-Play game that delivers intuitive gameplay for all skill levels. Offering wide customization features across karts and characters, KartRider: Drift encourages racers to express their unique personality as they cross the line.
Maybe Kartrider doesn't have the brand recognition of Tetris, but it could become a defacto Xbox franchise if handled properly. Microsoft has a ton of subscribers to Live Gold and it will likely gain more if it keeps updating Game Pass with new releases. If the company positions Kartrider as the premiere reason to sign-up, there's no telling how far it will go. This is all just speculation, though. Whether or not Kartrider: Drift will become a massive hit, we won't have much longer to wait. The game will be landing on Xbox One next week on November 22, 2019.
