Forget Bloodborne Kart, R.E.P.O. is getting its own horror racing game

Spin-off game modes have become the norm in modern gaming, or at least there seems to be a strong push toward that. It's always nice when players are afforded the opportunity to play a game in alternative ways, and for whatever reason, kart racing seems to be one of the more popular choices among horror fans seeking to take their favorite titles for a different ride. Following the popular meme that was Bloodborne Kart (that eventually became its own game as a spin-off of the ill-fated Bloodborne PSX), R.E.P.O., a hit indie horror game, is hopping aboard and driving into the low-polygon sunset with its own kart racing mode. As part of the "King of the Losers" mechanic, players who have failed their R.E.P.O. run by either not meeting the deadline or dying horrible deaths will be dropped into a kart racing mini-game where the best loser wins. This expands the previous mechanic that would drop players into a huge arena where they could use all sorts of weapons to kill each other and declare a single loser the victor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKBuIklG8zQ And it's not just some shabby, random racing game either. It genuinely looks challenging, with various ways to boost yourself and overtake the player ahead of you, all in an effort to rub some medicine into that wound of failure while simultaneously pouring salt on your friends. On top of the boosters, entire racing platforms can crash down as you ride over them, so just being the first one ahead won't be enough to win the race. Players can also push each other into traps, block one another's path, and generally try to ruin each other's chances at winning, even if it means both of them will die from going down too fast. And this is just one part of a massive incoming update, announced yesterday, that R.E.P.O. is to receive soon. It'll also feature cosmetics aside from the kart racing, alongside some other goodies, which you can check out in the update's full trailer linked above.
