Ossu!

We’re continuing our format of expanding the game’s story campaign through side mission chapters focused on the boss characters. It’s finally time for Ayumi!

In Ayumi’s chapter you will follow her life from her early childhood, the traumas she endured and how racing changed her forever.

We’ve prepared 8 fresh gameplay events, narrated through manga pages and a unique reward waiting for those who complete the whole chapter - Ayumi’s boss car.

The free update will go live on July 29th for all platforms simultaneously.

Bug Fixing

Alongside the side mission campaign we’ve also looked into some long requested adjustments and overdue bug fixing. We’ll share a full patch notes list on the day of the update but here’s a few items which we can already confirm:

  • We’ve scoured through the open world map adjusting it, making sure players will no longer collide with invisible objects or the ground surface when driving in heavily lowered cars.

  • We’ve improved the e-brakes in AWD cars.

  • We’ve brought back tire pressure settings in the car tuning options.

  • We’ve fixed the graphical settings for mirrors - their settings are now properly saved and the game remembers the setting after relaunching the game.

We still have more surprises lined up for you for July and the upcoming weeks - stay tuned and look forward to the next devlog. In the meantime consider joining our Discord server, where you will never miss a beat about JDM!
