Developer Gaming Factory and publisher 4Divinity have announced that they have secured the license to use Nissan cars in their upcoming racing and drifting game, JDM: Japanese Drift Masters.
This is the third car brand that will be collaborating with this game, following Mazda and Subaru. It is hinted that there will be more licensed JDMs coming to JDM, as the developer is still actively working on “bringing more partners to the game”.
You can expect at least the Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 to appear in JDM, as seen in the new screenshot revealed alongside this announcement.
JDM: Japanese Drift Master is a game where players tune, race and drift in cars, a mix of unlicensed legally distinct tuners as well as licensed Japanese Domestic Market cars. The game world depitcts a fictional map of the Japanese countryside, surrounding Haikama Lake, filled with twisty touge routes ripe for drifting and racing.
JDM: Japanese Drift Master has a free standalone prologue that doubles as a demo in the form of JDM: Rise Of The Scorpion (our impressions on the demo here). Curiously, the prologue features the main character driving a legally-distinct Nissan 350Z. Will this be changed for the full release to make use of the new license deal remains to be seen.
JDM: Japanese Drift Master has no release date yet, but it’s coming to PC (Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG).
