2026 3 - Berjaya Corporation Berhad

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – 12 August 2026 – Berjaya Times Square Theme Park is set to completely redefine urban entertainment with the grand unveiling of its reimagined go-kart attraction. Transforming the indoor racing landscape, the heart of Kuala Lumpur will now play host to Kart Wars—a groundbreaking, real-life, gaming-inspired racing track that brings the chaotic, high-octane joy of combat arcade racer classics into the physical world.

Located at Basement 3 of Berjaya Times Square Kuala Lumpur (BTSKL), the newly overhauled arena sheds its traditional look for a vibrant, neon-drenched cyber-circuit. Seamlessly merging cutting-edge entertainment technology with high-performance electric racing, the attraction offers drivers two entirely distinct ways to experience the grid.

One Track, Two Thrilling Ways to Play
Whether you are a casual gamer looking to sabotage your friends or a pure speed demon hunting for the perfect racing line, the revamped facility features two specialized game modes:

Mode 1: The Apex Predator (Pure Electric Racing)
Built for pure adrenaline and racing enthusiasts. This mode strips away the digital distractions and unleashes the raw power of the venue’s next-generation electric karts. Drivers can push their vehicles to their absolute limits, hitting blistering top speeds of up to 35 km/h on a challenging, technical indoor circuit that tests steering, braking, and drifting skills.

Mode 2: Kart Wars (The Interactive Combat Race)
The crown jewel of the revamp. Inspired by legendary combat arcade racers, this mode transforms the track into a living video game using advanced projection mapping and augmented tracking technology. Drivers steer over glowing, digital power-ups projected directly onto the tarmac to claim virtual bombs, shields, and boosts. Tapping a “Turbo Boost” triggers instant physical acceleration in your kart, while getting struck by an opponent’s “Virtual Bomb” safely and automatically slows your vehicle down for a brief penalty period.

“We wanted to create something that wasn’t just a regular activity, but a core memory for everyone who walks through our doors,” said Tan Tee Ming, Chief Executive Officer at Berjaya Times Square Kuala Lumpur. “By introducing the Kart Wars concept to our Go-Kart BTSKL, we are bridging the gap between digital gaming and physical reality. It’s chaotic, it’s competitive, and most importantly, it’s accessible to families, friends, and corporate teams looking for a totally unique thrill in the heart of KL.”

Next-Gen Features of the Revamped Track
Eco-Friendly, High-Torque Fleet: 100% electric karts offering instant acceleration with zero emissions and zero exhaust fumes, ensuring a clean, premium indoor environment.

Steering-Wheel Dashboards: Every kart features a live digital screen displaying your current race position, lap times, and what power-up you currently have armed.

The newly revamped Kart Wars attraction at Berjaya Times Square Theme Park officially opens to the public on Thursday, 6 August 2026.
