I’ll take a bet on it

Mario Kart Tour gacha is not any extra, no less than come “late September,” in keeping with a brand new replace from the sport’s official Twitter account.

Right here’s the total rundown:

“Right here’s a peek at #MarioKartTour‘s replace coming late September! Battle mode can be added, together with a Highlight Store, the place you’ll be able to change rubies for drivers, karts, and gliders! Additionally, pipes you’ll be able to hearth by utilizing rubies can be eliminated. See the notification for particulars.”

So trying out that notification on the app, it appears as if “new drivers, karts, and gliders, in addition to drivers, karts, and gliders which have appeared prior to now, can be out there.” This “Highlight Store” system will possible work equally to the Fornite (and firm) highlight retailers, which solely showcase just a few issues to purchase at a time: in a bid to get you to maintain trying out the storefront and purchase one thing earlier than it leaves.
