Motorsport game developer Grease Monkey Games has released the latest early access iteration of its PC drift racing simulator, Torque Drift 2.
Still in early access, the update features new game modes like Lead and Chase, the new Japanese Daikoku track, and performance parts tuning. It also introduces new vehicles such as the Toyota AE86 and the Mazda RX3. Additionally, players will be able to purchase Pro Car Bundles, which include vehicles driven by professional drifters. These packs feature fully equipped cars, parts, custom keychains, and bobbleheads.
“The new Lead and Chase challenges and the addition of the iconic Daikoku track will bring an even more realistic and authentic racing environment and give gamers new ways to drive and customize their cars. Our mission is to provide the most authentic and engaging drifting experience possible,” said Grease Monkey CEO Arran Potter.
A series of new events have also been introduced to make the game more interactive. Notably, this includes an events tab and scheduler where new events and challenges surface daily, allowing players to choose which events they want to participate in. With a set score target, track, and car to drive for each event, players can mix up their gameplay between freestyle events.
Update 10 also offers deeper customization options with the introduction of performance parts tuning. These allow players to boost their vehicles with turbos, engines, gearboxes, angle kits, and ECU modifications. New body kits will also be available, enabling players to personalize their vehicles aesthetically.
Part of Animoca Brands’ Motorverse games ecosystem, Torque Drift 2 has seen over 400,000 downloads via Epic Games Store.
Also an Animoca subsidiary, Grease Monkey Games collaborated with the US-based motorsport drifting series Formula DRIFT in 2022. Building on this partnership, the RTR Mustang Team car bundles are being integrated into Torque Drift 2‘s latest update, allowing players to drive the same cars as the RTR Mustang Team in Formula DRIFT.
