But before going into that, I suggest you to join our Discord channel, since it's pivotal for many initiatives and to stay up to date with the community :D You can use this link to join: https://discord.gg/gZqM6c9 Star Drift Evolution page is up! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1005400 Past days have been hectic for the team, but... we now have a new steam entry and a release date for Star Drift Evolution: 30/10/2020!
