PS5's Fastest Growing Open World Adds Beach Volleyball, Jet Skis, and Construction Work
The open-world game NTE is receiving a major PS5 update on August 19th, introducing beach volleyball, jet ski racing, and a drift-racing island. The update also adds two new playable characters and expands the game's social and construction-based gameplay features.
Why it matters
This highlights the ongoing trend of 'live service' games continuously expanding their content to maintain player engagement.
Plus, a new island built for Initial D-style drifting
With its previous update, urban open world NTE added an entire fantasy RPG mode – and I continue to be flabbergasted by Chinese dev Hotta Studio’s ongoing support for this title.
Its next PS5 update, due out on 19th August, includes a dizzying array of new activities – including a beach volleyball minigame, jet ski races, construction work, and a new island centred around Initial D -style drift racing.
Two new playable characters will be added to the gacha: Zankou and Linko. In addition to their unique combat kits, unlocking them will also add their personal interactions to the sandbox’s social gameplay.
