Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown has been delayed into 2024, Nacon and KT Racing have announced during a showcase for the upcoming racer.
The TDUConnect event did have better news, however, as it also marked the first gameplay footage of the open world racer in action. The main crux of the game will be based around two factions – the Sharps and the Streets – with the former all about luxury and class, and the latter all about the underground racing and street culture. You’ll get to pick which of these two groups you wish to race for at the start of the game, before you head onto the streets of Hong Kong.
Hong Kong will be made up of plenty of different landscapes to race around, including both natural and rugged terrain and the paved city streets. There’ll also be a dynamic weather and time of day system that’ll effect how your chosen vehicle handles when you’re behind the wheel. When you’re not racing around, you’ll be able to interact in the social spaces including The Solar Hotel. Here, you’ll be able to rise up the ranks of the hotel, unlocking new exclusive suites and features as you win races and build your reputation.
The thirty-minute presentation featured a number of racing influencers plus team members working on the game all driving around the open world and taking part in races, challenges and more that you’ll be able to take part in as part of the game’s mostly open world. There had been some fears that the presentation may have been postponed as a result of the strike action reported earlier this week, although there seemed to be no mention of that around or as part of the event.
Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown had originally been pencilled in for a 2022 release, but slipped into 2023 in May of last year before this latest delay. There’s no specific date for its release now other than ‘early 2024’ but it’s also worth noting the showcase end card had removed references to the Nintendo Switch versions of the game. It had previously stated that it had cancelled the Xbox One and PS4 versions of the game last year.
