The eagerly awaited release of JDM Japanese Drift Master on Steam, originally set for March 2025, has been postponed. Just weeks before its planned debut, the developers have announced that the game will now launch on May 21, 2025. This delay aims to provide the team with additional time to refine and enhance the project, ensuring they deliver the highest quality version of the game possible.
Accompanying the announcement, the developers released a new gameplay teaser that showcases the significant progress made so far. The teaser emphasizes the game's dedication to authentic Japanese drift culture, featuring intricately detailed car models, immersive environments, and smooth drifting mechanics. While the delay might disappoint fans eager to play, the teaser offers a promising glimpse into how the extra time will contribute to an elevated final product.
In their statement, the developers reiterated their commitment to delivering an exceptional gaming experience:
We want to ensure that JDM Japanese Drift Master lives up to the excitement and anticipation you’ve shown. The additional time will allow us to polish every aspect of the game and make it truly special.
Players will need to wait a bit longer to get behind the wheel of their favorite drift machines. However, the promise of a more refined and feature-rich experience suggests that this delay is a necessary step toward realizing the game's full potential.
