Gaming Factory has revealed more details of its upcoming drift game, JDM: Japanese Drift Master, showcasing its open-world, manga-style story mode and its extensive tuning and customisation mode.

We revealed last month that JDM’s release date had slipped from late 2024 to Spring 2025, but with frequent developer updates and its prequel, JDM: Rise of the Scorpion, already available to try for free, the game appears to be progressing nicely.

JDM’s story will be marked by manga cartoons drawn by specialist in-house artists, with Rise of the Scorpion already introducing some characters and locations to the main story. Every in-game manga storyline will be accessible via a smartphone, styled very much on the Initial D series of comics.

The game’s setting will also incorporate iconic Guntama prefecture car spots, featuring recognisable landmarks and an authentically replicated road network.

Perhaps the biggest reveal in JDM’s latest development update is the extent of the game’s customisation mode, where car tuning and modifying takes centre stage. You can buy new parts for your car on a tiered system, where the highest tier provides more performance but is more expensive.

Exhausts, side skirts, splitters, wings and wheels can all be swapped out, although the extent to which you can fettle the car’s innards has yet to be revealed.

The Polish developer is aiming to make every major sim racing hardware device compatible with JDM too, including handbrakes and shifters, as well as wheelbases and pedals, marking this as a potential drifter’s dream.

Are you looking forward to JDM: Japanese Drift Master’s PC release next year? Let us know in the comments below.
