Evaluation
Nightmare Kart launched as a free-to-play game on June 5, 2024 and received a steady stream of patches and feature updates throughout mid-to-late 2024, including analog steering improvements, a first-person camera mode, and an achievement system. On February 5, 2025, the developer announced a free expansion called "The Old Karts," promising a new mini campaign, new racers and karts, new tracks, and new power-ups and game modes — all listed as "coming soon." However, no release date was provided, and there have been no developer posts of any kind since that announcement. As of June 20, 2026, the developer has been silent for over 16 months, and there is no confirmation that the expansion has been released or that development is still ongoing. The promised content remains undelivered with no update from the studio.
Evidence
Developer announced a free expansion DLC, 'Nightmare Kart: The Old Karts,' featuring a new mini campaign, racers, karts, tracks, and game modes. Listed as 'coming soon' with no specific release date.
Version 1.12 added Steam achievements, a statistics page, and track record saving — the last feature update before the expansion announcement.
