Marvelous announced that its upcoming action racing game Kandagawa Jet Girls, by the Senran Kagura and Valkyrie Drive developers, releases in Japan on January 16, 2020. Here are new screenshots and details.
The story of Kandagawa Jet Girls takes place in a world where “Jet Rae” is a major sport. The sport requires a “Jetter” who controls the machine and a “Shooter” that uses a watergun to shoot opponents.
Rin Namiki looks to follow the steps of her mother, a legendary Jetter, as a Jetter herself, and heads to Tokyo where she meets a cool beauty named Misa Aoi as her partner. The two continue to bond together as they race against rivals.
Here are some details on the game modes:
