Nexon announced the global shutdown of KartRider: Drift, the mobile, console, and PC game launched in January 2023. However, the good news is that the Asian servers (Taiwan and South Korea) will remain operational, albeit with upcoming changes. Nexon hasn't revealed specifics about these changes or the possibility of a future global relaunch.
Will Asian Servers Also Shut Down?
No, the Asian versions in Taiwan and South Korea will continue. They're slated for an update, but details are scarce.
When is the Global Shutdown?
Nexon hasn't provided a precise date for the global shutdown, but it will happen later this year. The game is still available on the Google Play Store, allowing players to enjoy it before its closure.
Reasons Behind the Global Shutdown:
Despite efforts to provide a smooth global experience, KartRider: Drift faced challenges. Player frustration stemmed from heavy automation, making gameplay feel repetitive. Technical issues, such as poor optimization on some Android devices and numerous bugs, further hampered the game's success. These factors led Nexon to refocus its efforts on the Korean and Taiwanese PC versions, aiming for a more refined experience.
Nexon is now concentrating on the PC versions in Korea and Taiwan, aiming to recapture the original game vision. Check back for more gaming news!
