Navigating the Misty Akina: A New Rainy Challenge

The highlight of the “Ver.3.2” update is undoubtedly the introduction of the new “Akina (Rain)” course. This iconic mountain pass, famous from the legendary Initial D manga and anime series, now appears under a veil of rain, transforming the familiar twists and turns into a treacherous new battleground. The slick, reflective surface of the road demands heightened precision and delicate control, making cornering a true test of skill. Players will need to adapt their drifting techniques to master the reduced grip, with every subtle adjustment becoming crucial for success.

  • “Chasing Rain” (DiGiTAL WiNG Vo: fuka, Sorane / RAP: ytr)

  • “KATANA” (A-One Vo: Mii)

These tracks are poised to immerse players deeper into the intense, rain-soaked races, with their beats syncing to the rhythm of the challenging course.
