Burn rubber drifting with racing simulation DRIFT21

Global publisher 505 Games and developer ECC Games S.A. have confirmed that the long-awaited drifting racing simulation game DRIFT21 will launch on the Steam Early Access program on May 7th.

Originally born on the streets of Japan, drift racing is now watched and raced on a global scale and is considered the fastest-growing motorsport in the world. Specialist drivers push their skills and their cars to the very limits to drift at speed through the entirety of a corner while maintaining total control.

DRIFT21 puts you behind the wheel of your very own drift racing car as you take on Japan’s legendary EBISU circuits. Choose from a range of fully licensed cars and fine-tune your dream drifting machine right down to the smallest engine parts to gain every advantage when on the track.

DRIFT21 will deliver an unparalleled driver experience creating a new level of realism in both visuals and vehicle handling and by using 3D scanning techniques, the development team were able to recreate real drift tracks from around the world in stunning detail.

To get your engines revving, 505 Games has released a trailer showcasing some of the tuned cars from DRIFT21 being put through their paces on the legendary drifting circuits.
