Collaborations
Four collabs were announced during the preview, ranging from in-game vehicles to real-world food deals.
Porsche
In-game cars and environments inspired by Porsche design. The collab brings branded vehicles into the world of Hethereau.
Opera GX
An exclusive browser collab coming soon. Details were not fully revealed during the preview, but an announcement is expected shortly after launch.
Beard Papa's
A real-world IRL collab with character-themed cream puff sets. It brings NTE into physical retail spaces.
Persona 5
A racing integration via P5X crossover, blending Persona 5's visual identity with NTE's vehicle and event systems.
Solo & Multiplayer Events
Solo and multiplayer events are available from day one. The preview showed racing time trials for solo play and online card games for a more casual multiplayer option.
New outfits and vehicles are available as event rewards. Exact durations and schedules will be confirmed at launch.
Design & Optimization
The game looks noticeably better than the beta. Hotta Studio showed before-and-after comparisons with sharper character models, improved lighting, and better textures.
They also ran an FPS comparison on the same hardware. Beta ran at 58 FPS, Version 1.0 hit 99 FPS. That's a big difference, especially if you struggled during the beta.
If you had frame rate issues in the beta, it's worth giving the launch build a try.
Pre-Download
Pre-download opens on April 27, 2026 at 10:00 UTC+8, two days before launch. Available on PS5, PC, and Mobile.
Download early if you can. Waiting until launch day risks missing the first hours. Have the client ready before April 29.
