Asphalt Legends Marks 20th Anniversary with Retro Racing

• Asphalt celebrates 20 years with high-speed nostalgia
• New anniversary track blending eras from Asphalt 7, 8, and 9
• Retro car decals and remastered music bring back the classics
• Original game Asphalt Urban GT returns via web emulation

Asphalt is hitting the 20-year mark in grand style—no slowing down here. Instead of a quiet milestone, Gameloft is throwing a full-throttle celebration packed with nostalgic throwbacks, retro-inspired rewards, and a fresh race that spans the franchise’s evolution. The festivities are live now across all platforms until August 21st.

At the heart of the event is a spectacular new track that dynamically shifts through three iconic Asphalt eras. Starting in San Diego, styled like Asphalt 8: Airborne, the race transitions to Cairo in the Asphalt 9: Legends aesthetic, then finishes in Los Angeles with the gritty, high-octane vibe of Asphalt 7: Heat. Each segment captures the visual flair and driving feel of its original game, delivering a seamless journey through the series’ legacy.

Customization gets a vintage upgrade with retro decals for five featured cars: the Mitsubishi Lancer EVO, Pagani Huayra R, Bugatti Centodieci, and more. These throwback designs pay homage to earlier Asphalt titles, letting players mix modern performance with classic style.

The celebration extends to the soundtrack with remixed tracks from Asphalt 8: Airborne, rare music from the Switch version of Asphalt 9, and a special remastered compilation of 14 timeless tracks. This anniversary playlist is now available on Spotify, YouTube, and Apple Music—so you can keep the adrenaline pumping even outside the game.

But the biggest surprise? The return of Asphalt Urban GT—the original 2004 Java-powered game that started it all. Now playable through browser-based emulation on the official Asphalt Legends website, fans can relive the roots of the franchise. Complete all retro stages to unlock exclusive in-game rewards, including credits, tokens, and rare vehicles.
