Ossu!
We’re planning to release the next major patch this week, and as promised, we have surprises lined up for you. Probably the biggest one of them is the return of Scorpion! Yes, we’ve moved the Rise of the Scorpion content from the old engine and integrated it with the side missions in the game. Enjoy the trailer:
The full story campaign of Rise of the Scorpion will now be available in-game. After completing Chapter 01, Mission 05, a new ‘scorpion’ marker will appear on your minimap. When you drive there and interact with it, the Side Story will begin. As with the main campaign, finishing one event will spawn the next mission and so on until you complete the whole subplot.
And believe us, it’s worth your time! For those who complete the storyline, Scorpion’s heavily tuned Nissan Z33 – livery included – will wait for you in the garage.
For those first hearing about Rise of the Scorpion - it was our demo-prologue, which was publicly released in August 2024, telling the story of Hatori “Scorpion” Hasashi, who becomes Touma’s biggest rival in the full release of JDM. Since then, we have removed the demo, as we made significant changes to the game’s engine, so it only seemed fair to bring back that content for all of you.
Let us know what you think about adding side stories of various characters from JDM as content updates. Is it something you would want to see more of? If yes, who would be your favourite?
The full patch list will be published alongside the release of the update later this week.
In the meantime, if you run into any issues, please let us know by submitting a bug report HERE.
As always, we also encourage you to join our Discord channel, where you can discuss the game, JDM cars and basically any other topic, with likeminded people.
Let's Rise!
