Nexon announced the global shutdown of its mobile, console, and PC racing game, KartRider: Drift, later this year. However, the Asian servers (Taiwan and South Korea) will remain operational, undergoing a revamp.
Will Asian Servers Also Close?
No, the Asian versions will continue, though Nexon hasn't detailed the planned changes. The future of the global version remains uncertain; a potential relaunch hasn't been ruled out.
Global Shutdown Timing?
Nexon hasn't specified a precise date for the global shutdown. The game is still available on the Google Play Store, allowing players to enjoy it before its closure.
Reasons for the Shutdown:
Despite efforts to provide a smooth global experience, KartRider: Drift faced challenges. Players expressed dissatisfaction with excessive automation, leading to repetitive gameplay. Technical issues, including poor optimization on some Android devices and numerous bugs, further hampered the game's success. Nexon's decision to shut down the global version reflects a strategic shift, refocusing development on the PC versions in Korea and Taiwan to better realize the game's original vision.
