Trivia[]

  • Cars from Hyundai (Korean Spring Season), Toyota & Lexus (Toyota and Lexus Season) debuted as a special collaboration with the brands.
    • This update also breaks the absence of Toyota brand in the Asphalt series due to licensing issues since 2016 (removal of Toyota Tundra at the game's launch) for Asphalt Xtreme and 2017 (the Supra RZ (Mark IV) and the Toyota's defunct marque Scion's FR-S were made unobtainable for non-owners since the Motorcycles Update) for Asphalt 8: Airborne, indicating that licensing terms of Toyota have been changed, allowing Asphalt series to license Toyota cars from now on.
      • The logo of Toyota Motor North America (TMNA), Toyota's North American operating subsidiary, is used and mentioned in the licenses of Toyota & Lexus cars, with the phrase: "© (2025) Toyota Motor North America. All rights reserved.".
    • This update can be related to the Asphalt 7: Heat's Hyundai Update back in 2012, in which 2 Hyundai cars were released and a contest was held for the game and the player who reached the top of the leaderboard won a trip to the 2012 Detroit Auto Show and South Korea,[18] similar to the Hyundai Experience TLEs.
    • For the first time since Wanderlust and Fifth Anniversary Season Update, the update runs for 2 seasons and features 2 separate cars for both Unite Pass (known at the time as Legend Pass).
      • They are also the final Unite Passes to use the current format, as the Unite Pass will be revamped in the subsequent May 2025 update as mentioned in the 2025 Roadmap.
  • The Drive Syndicate 11 is the first Drive Syndicate event to...
  • The Gauntlet mode was adapted from Asphalt 9: Legends China, which was originally debuted in the Sailing Update.
    • The global version also uses Chinese version screenshots of a Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut racing in various tracks in the loading screens.
  • As part of the April Fools, aside from 3D Mode feature, the ex-Community Manager, Codin, made a "return" for the Community Manager position along with the announcement of Koenigsegg CC850's Special Event on Discord.[19] The joke was later confirmed by Muttley.[20]
    • The event would eventually take place in the form of "Discord Moderators Special Event", as a tribute for the moderators of the Asphalt Legends Unite Official Discord Server.
