'Drift Stage' Also Coming To PS4 And Vita

Drift Stage is a modern evolution of the classic arcade racer, making updates to the gameplay while maintaining the late 80s style.

Drift Stage is a modern take on the classic arcade racer. Paying homage to the eras that birthed the genre, Drift Stage features a unique art style, blending pixel art and 3D models to create a colorful and vibrant world to race in.  Focusing on easy to pick up gameplay with enough depth to keep dedicated race fans satisfied, Drift Stage hopes to bring back the blend of pure fun and challenge that was a staple of arcade classics.

Drifting is the key to victory in the world of Drift Stage. Races become duels of wits and technique, with the deciding factor often coming down to split second timing on the entry or exit of the turn. Featuring an original drifting style inspired by games like Outrun 2, Ridge Racer, and Daytona USA, Drift Stage can make for both fun casual racing and intense second shaving battles.

Building on the classic modes everyone has come to know and love, Drift Stage plans to include multiple new game types utilizing modern game design techniques, such as an infinite drift mode incorporating a procedurally generated course with checkpoints, as well as a decal system, allowing you to personalize your car with custom images.

  • Single Race: A conventional single player race against AI opponents.
  • Time Trial: Race against staff ghosts and your personal best as well as your friends' best online leaderboard times.
  • Infinite Drift: Checkpoint style races on a randomly generated track.
  • Daily Challenges: Challenge your friends in a time/score based daily challenge.
  • Career Mode: Choose your racer and follow their story across multiple races.
  • Workshop: Create custom tracks in an in-game editor and customize your cars with decals.
  • Local & Online Multiplayer: Drift Stage features local split screen up to four players, just like the old days, in addition to online racing.
