JDM: Japanese Drift Master Unleashes High-Octane Eurobeat Track – “LIFESHIFTFIRE!”
Warsaw, 21st of March 2025 – Gaming Factory is thrilled to announce the official release of LIFESHIFTFIRE!, an electrifying Eurobeat track composed exclusively for JDM: Japanese Drift Master. The song, created by Kamil Hasselhoff, Naski, and Marga, made its debut during the Future Games Show, accompanying the latest game trailer.
Drifting and Eurobeat have long been intertwined, thanks in part to legendary anime Initial D and the global influence of online car culture. The high-energy rhythms of Eurobeat perfectly capture the thrill of street racing, making it an essential part of the JDM: Japanese Drift Master experience. Now, players can immerse themselves in this adrenaline-fueled world with an original soundtrack that brings the spirit of drifting to life.
The official music video for LIFESHIFTFIRE! is now available
A Soundtrack Tailored for Drifting Enthusiasts
Music plays a crucial role in JDM: Japanese Drift Master, setting the tone for intense racing action. The game features multiple radio stations covering a variety of genres, from Eurobeat and EDM to J-Rock and Nu Metal, ensuring that every player finds the perfect beat to complement their drifting skills.
Following the track's reveal at the Future Games Show, the latest JDM: Japanese Drift Master trailer is also available for viewing.

Stay Tuned for More Updates
The road to launch is getting shorter, and more exciting announcements are just around the corner. Players eager to experience JDM: Japanese Drift Master should add the game to their Steam wishlist and hit the 'Follow' button to stay up-to-date with the latest news.
An engaging story
You will follow the story of Touma, a Polish driver who dreams of making a name for himself on the local street racing scene. With some help from his Japanese friends, he dives deep into the competition but quickly learns that fierce rivals are standing in his way. Will he manage to reach the top? Drama, action, and even love await the players.
The story in JDM: Japanese Drift Master is told through in-game events and a manga (Japanese comic book), meticulously drawn by our internal art team. Each time the player takes part in an event, pages of the comic book will lead them in or build up the narrative for what's next to come.
Licensed Cars
There can't be a racing game, without beautiful and fast cars! The players will find fully licensed Nissan, Mazda, Subaru cars at their disposal and we're not done with our announcements yet! Stay tuned for more information in the future.
Each car can be upgraded, both mechanically and visually. From installing a new ECU to adding that over-the-top bōsōzoku exhaust - it's all in the game! Tuning a car is simple and clear and if the players really want to push their cars to the limit, the most advanced parts will unlock fine tuning - every single car in the game can be adjusted to be a grip or drift beast or an all 'rounder if that's the desired preference.
Simcade Experience
JDM: Japanese Drift Master is a simcade racer, with a solid simulation backbone and arcade layers added on top for a fun and enjoyable experience. Expect each car to behave differently on the street, to feel the weight of it when going into a corner or trying to break at a high speed. Driving physics were very important for us from the beginning and we believe we found a perfect balance between fun and challenge coming from driving a car in real life.
We also have good news for simracers and car enthusiasts - we're constantly adding presets for driving wheels and the plethora of simdriving hardware available on the market to the game. We're also building a robust key binding feature, where you will be able to set-up basically anything you have hooked up to your PC, for any hardware that we just didn't have the man-capacity to create a plug and play preset to. It will be available at player's disposal on the day of the game's launch. If you're a controller or a keyboard player, don't fret, the game will be as enjoyable on them as playing on a steering wheel!
JDM: Japanese Drift Master is a single-player, narrative driven, racing experience. Developed on Unreal Engine 5. The game launches on Steam, GoG, and Epic Store on May 21st, 2025, so mark your calendars and dust off your controllers, it's time to conquer the roads of Japan!
