JDM: Rise of the Scorpion is a free prologue to give players a taste of the full game: JDM: Japanese Drift Master. In the prologue, players will discover the beginning of the narrative of the titular “Scorpion” through a story guided by manga panels. Check the announcement trailer/teaser below:
JDM: Rise of the Scorpion will allow players to access new areas, unseen in the JDM demo. The areas available are not only landmarks but also the source of new adventures and challenges.
The game has a dynamic weather system that adds an unpredictable element to the racing experience. The different weathers not only change the appearance of the world but also affect the car’s performance. There is also a day and night cycle. Riding in the glare of local shop lights at night, or at sunrise will be different experiences and challenges.
The prologue will have a car upgrade system, adding more progression to the game and allowing the player to gradually reach the full potential of the car. It is also implied that it will be possible to unlock new cars.
The free prologue for JDM: Japanese Drift Master, JDM: Rise of the Scorpion, will be released this summer 2024 on Steam, Epic, and GOG.
