Bsimracing Sim Racing Resources and News for the racing enthousiast.
Polish indie game developers VeCube Studio and Thundercoil Games have revealed the upcoming simulation-focused KartOne racing game for the PC (Steam), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
Have a look at the official reveal trailer and 4 minutes of raw gameplay footage showcasing the Practice Mode in KartOne.
KartOne is in development, utilising Unreal Engine and aims to deliver detailed driving physics, diverse track conditions, and multiple game modes, resulting in a realistic simulation of the karting sport.
While the game features a highly complex physics engine designed to appeal to hardcore sim racers, VeCube Studio has also integrated simplified driving assists and controls. This ensures that newcomers who just want the thrill of karting can still pick up a controller and enjoy the game.
Currently focusing on Rental Karts, the developer is planning to introduce more karting classes, including competition karts. These classes will be an integral part of the career mode, where the player starts driving rental karts on small circuits and progresses to top-tier categories and professional competitions. VeCube Studio is currently talking to various motorsport brands and real-world manufacturers to become potential partners, enabling them to develop authentic licensed content.
No official release date is shared, but the game is scheduled to become available in 2026.
