Overview

Developed by Grease Monkey Games, a subsidiary of Animoca Brands, this game is set to redefine the drift racing simulation experience. The game is currently in Early Access for PC, with a full launch anticipated in Q4 2024, followed by console availability. Torque Drift 2 promises an authentic racing experience for both Web2 and Web3 gamers.

Gameplay

In Torque Drift 2, the thrill of building and customizing your own car is taken to a whole new level. The game offers an unparalleled car customization experience that allows you to create the ultimate drift machine according to your exact preferences. Whether you're focused on optimizing track performance or expressing your unique aesthetic vision, the level of detail and freedom in customization is truly remarkable. From body kits to paint schemes, and from suspension setups to engine modifications, every aspect of your car is under your control.

The game takes authenticity to heart by featuring real aftermarket manufacturers. This means you can outfit your in-game vehicle with genuine parts and decals from iconic brands like Mishimoto and more. The inclusion of these real-world components adds a layer of realism to your virtual creations, allowing you to enhance your car's performance and aesthetics with parts you'd find in the real tuning world. This attention to detail not only caters to the car enthusiasts but also adds an extra dimension to the gameplay.

Prepare for heart-pounding battles in Torque Drift 2's high-intensity drift competitions. You'll find yourself engaged in exhilarating close-proximity drift battles that take place on both closed circuits and challenging street layouts. The game introduces a new dedicated drift physics system that authentically replicates the sensation of drifting, giving you precise control over your car's movements. The immersive smoke effects further enhance the realism, creating an atmosphere that's both visually stunning and true to the drift racing experience.

The inclusion of crowd simulations and a realistic damage system adds depth to the competitions. As you drift around corners, the virtual crowd reacts dynamically to your performance, amplifying the sense of being in a real competition. Moreover, the realistic damage system means that your driving skills are put to the test – collisions have consequences, affecting not only the appearance of your car but also its handling and performance. This creates a sense of urgency and strategic thinking as you navigate through the races.

In Torque Drift 2, the excitement isn't limited to the track; it extends to the realm of digital asset collection. The game features a range of real-world licensed digital parts, cars, decals, and items that you can earn and collect as you progress. These items serve not only to enhance your car's performance and appearance but also to bolster your profile within the Torque Drift 2 community.

Building on the collection aspect, the game introduces the ability to trade and sell your creations. You can craft unique car setups tailor-made for special events, fine-tune your car tunes for optimal performance, and create captivating paint jobs that reflect your personal style. Sharing, selling, and trading these creations within the marketplace adds a dynamic social layer to the gameplay. It's not just about winning races; it's about curating a presence, expressing your creativity, and engaging with fellow players in a thriving virtual ecosystem.

Grease Monkey Games has partnered with Mishimoto, a leader in car cooling aftermarket parts. This partnership introduces exclusive Mishimoto licensed utility NFTs, expanding the game's Web3 capability. Players can now customize their rides with Mishimoto's top-tier parts, aligning with the game's core value of "play-it-your-way" and ensuring an unparalleled virtual racing experience.
