With stunning visuals, an unparalleled handling system, and genre-defining content, this is kart racing simulation at its finest.“Since we’re already in the zombie business with DayZ, we felt the next logical expansion would be to take on karting”, said Jay Crowe, Creative Director on Arma 3. “Our sandbox could not be called complete without karts, and thus we set ourselves the goal to recreate this pure form of racing. Welcome to Arma 3's World of Karts: drive / overtake / win.”
Bohemia Interactive has scheduled the Arma 3™ Karts DLC for the second quarter of 2014. The exact release date and price will be announced at a later date.

LOL, cool!

I would prefer game performance but I for one like to see BIS with such open mind.
Karts are always welcome!
April's fool perhaps?
youhou!! power point racing :D
April Fools. But still a good idea, the racing in Arma 3 is fantastic!
Sounds great! I hope it's not just an April Fools' joke! :)
I'm literally going to wipe my ass with this game, if this is true...I was hoping for something along the lines of another island or FIA expansion, added shit for nato or csat.
@zhenja1 - why not watch your language please.
Its clearly april's fool joke :)
löl!
Harsher language is used in game I'm just saying, but it's cool I get it your house your rules. Just really could be fixing bugs or ironing out stuff, adding content maybe even going so far as to work on other bohemia interactive games like carrier gaea mission which was a giant waste of money, or they could be improving the Kenyan-like zombies or clipping in Dayz standalone, but "ain't nobody got time fo dat", but we got time for April Fools shenanigans about fictional DLC, which if this was a joke which I certainly hope it is because if they went so far as to take in game screenshots and produce models for this, which require time modeling,texturing,scripting,configuring various seances and pagan rituals ..one could've should've used their time more wisely elsewhere.
@zhenja1
You know that the Arma 3 and DayZ team work separately, don't you?
@zhenja1 - if you think you can do a better job instead of complaining then BIS are actually employing right now, why not send them your resume and let them know how much free time you have on your hands.
Whats up with BIs elaborate April Fools Jokes? Would be sad to see the cart model not come to the game afte teasing us with this.
I seriously hope it is April fools cause Arma has bad road system and driving AI.
