Who updates a prologue?! Gaming Factory, that's who, and they've only gone and given JDM: Rise of the Scorpion a content update that coincides with the announcement that Nissan has signed a licensing agreement.
The latest update introduces the Challenge Mode. It's a single-player option to test out stock models and fine-tuned vehicles on closed tracks, offering Drift and Grip challenges, facing off against AI rivals, and improving one's driving skills without spilling the tofu.
