Nexon has decided to retain the original title, reflecting its commitment to preserving the memories and experiences of the original KARTRIDER.

In conjunction with this, the company has launched an official KARTRIDER website and unveiled its development direction. The site was created to share updates and progress with users who have consistently shown interest and support for the game. Nexon plans to publish regular newsletters through the site to provide updates on the development status.

KARTRIDER is being developed based on the core gameplay of the original, including its signature feel, driving mechanics, and controls, while simultaneously introducing modern systems to provide a more seamless playing environment.

The lobby screen, which had become cluttered over years of service, is being redesigned for better intuition. The team is not merely modifying the existing structure but is approaching the project by reorganizing the overall flow of the game. Furthermore, the client environment is being modernized through a transition to 64-bit and the implementation of DirectX 11 to enhance service stability.

With the launch of this website, Nexon intends to actively communicate with fans who have been waiting for KARTRIDER throughout the development process. Nexon previously announced a development project utilizing the KARTRIDER IP last year.

More details about KARTRIDER can be found on the official website.
