Nexon announced on the 28th that KartRider Rush+ has received its Season 39 'Beach' update. This update introduces new content and items centered around the theme of a summer beach.

This season brings new content and items designed for racing amidst blue waves. Two new highlight karts, Aqua Beetle and Ignis Beetle, have been revealed, alongside four item karts: Unicorn Tube, Affo Affo, Seaplane, and Thunder Off-road. Additionally, a new track, Ice Horror Half-pipe, has been added.

Furthermore, on June 12th, the Forest Vine Forest Cloud Bridge track will be updated. Players can also look forward to meeting four new characters: Draki, Sea Witch Il-yeong, Shark Uni, and Sailor Tiara, along with the Petite Princess Flying Pet and FlamingGO Pet.

In addition, a new content piece for top-tier players, 'PRO License,' has been updated. PRO License is available to users who have completed the existing L1 License and consists of 'Basic Missions' with high-difficulty and new objectives, and 'Advanced Missions' that test skills using only practice karts. This license operates on a maximum 180-day validity period, which is renewed upon mission completion. Failure to renew within the period will result in demotion to L1.

Moreover, the difficulty of L2 and L1 licenses has been adjusted to better match actual challenge records. Some high-difficulty missions, such as 'Jump Drift' and 'Great Demon Test,' have been removed, easing the overall difficulty.

The 'Ranking Match Ultimate League,' featuring Master tier players and above, has also been added. In 'Ultimate Item,' a 3v3 item race, a ban system allows each team to prohibit one kart from the opposing team, enabling strategic play. 'Ultimate Speed,' an 8-player speed race, allows players to either confirm their ranking points after a win or aim for up to a four-consecutive-win streak for bonus points. The potential system has also been changed from a level-based to a license-based unlock, strengthening growth benefits for holding higher licenses.

Meanwhile, Nexon is holding various events with rewards and benefits to commemorate this update. From May 28th to July 22nd, players can use Season Coins in the Season Exchange to acquire items such as Thunder Off-road (permanent), Ultra Cotton (permanent), and Melodia Tiara (permanent). Upon completing PRO License missions, 100 G-Coins will be awarded at each stage.

Until June 7th, a buff for increased wishing attempts and 'Bountiful Harvest' and 'Great Bountiful Harvest' buffs will be provided. On May 30th and 31st, players participating in Ranking Matches between 8 PM and 10 PM will receive an additional 2 ranking points. Every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, the 'Rush Farm Level Up Support Project' will offer increased experience and yield for growing crops, producing animal goods, and harvesting fish. A buff to increase Rush Farm Coin revenue from selling restaurant dishes will also be supported.

Additionally, collaboration content with the probiotics company 'hy' is set to be unveiled on June 1st.
