“There are moments in Test Drive Unlimited 2 when everything snaps together perfectly and you get an all too rare, blissful, zen-like rush of pure joy. Looking back on the last game in the series, the 2011 title Test Drive Unlimited 2, we didn’t pin a score on it, but Alex did share some thoughts on the game: Better to wait until there’s something meaningful to show, even if it means you can’t feature a tentpole release in your summer showcase. I get that Test Drive Unlimited is geared to be a grand revival for a once very popular and pioneering racing game series, but I don’t think it really helps build any kind of anticipation for the game to keep trotting it out and have nothing representative to show.
This should hopefully help them while polishing the game and optimising for the vastly more powerful newer generation of consoles. It wasn’t until May of this year that they confirmed that the game has been delayed until 2023, and that KT Racing cancelled the release for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles. The lack of gameplay at this point is getting a bit tiresome, and leans into one of the worst trends within the games industry: announcing a game or project far too early. It’s now been two years since the first teaser trailer and announcement for Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown in 2020 with KT Racing returning in 2021 with a moody head to head’ video, and then a location reveal for the Hong Kong setting, but no gameplay, even with a 2022 release date still expected.
