![]() Solar Crown will continue the tradition by setting players loose in a life-size recreation of Hong Kong Island. The first two games made a mark for being early efforts at open-world racing, with drivable virtual versions of Oahu and Ibiza built at 1:1 scale. Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown is a revival of a series that started out at Atari. “Our goal with Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown is to make it the most polished gaming experience in the franchise by spending more time on its development.… ith the aim of making the most of the technology in the latest consoles and maximising the overall quality of the game, NACON has decided to no longer develop Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One,” the companies announced in a new blog post. What’s more, the game is shedding its last-gen release platform and will now only come to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Windows PC. Publisher Nacon and developer KT Games have announced that the game will no longer launch on September 22nd, 2022, as previously announced. A closed beta is due at some point before release and we hope to have more information throughout this year.Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown, the long-awaited revival of the pioneering open-world racing series, will have to be even more longly awaited. Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown follows 2011’s Test Drive Unlimited 2 and will be released in 2023 for PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. This perhaps should be a surprise, with the WRC games and Test Drive sharing game engine technology under the skin. The more scenic views remind us somewhat of a WRC stage, like Croatia for example. ![]() In Forza Horizon 5 parlance, these would be labelled ‘biomes’. It all adds up to what looks to be a varied map, with several distinct areas. Thanks to the new in-engine images of the location, we can spot different times of day, tall skyscrapers and dingy back alleys of a city centre and the open road of the neighbouring countryside. It’s well documented that the game will be set within Hong Kong, with a 1-to-1 scale replication too. However, five more cars have now been confirmed:īlink and you’ll miss it, but the recent trailer also showcases gameplay, as the McLaren and Porsche drive in a straight line down a night-time street. So far, a handful of licenced vehicles have been revealed for the game, such as the Range Rover Sport and Aston Martin DB11 in the initial reveal trailer last year. This element of the game will sit alongside the PvP Solar Crown competition, which is a large tournament held across the Hong Kong environment. However, each HQ has a VIP area that only aligned members can access. ![]() Each clan has their own HQ, and any player can access either HQ no matter who they align with. The clans are said to showcase their affinity via the means of their cars, and it’s up to you which side you pick.Īs previously discussed, the Street clan is into nightclubs, while Sharp is more luxurious. ![]() This will be divided into two groups: Share and Street. Teamwork makes the dream-workĪ big focus for Test Drive Unlimited Solar crown is teamwork, and more specifically, rival clans working as one to take each other down. Today’s (7th July) new trailer doesn’t go as far as a full gameplay reveal, with the final game due next year, but if you peer closely you can see the in-engine footage and we have been supplied environment images. ![]() Developed by Kylotonn, known for the official WRC games, it will be set in Hong Kong with a licenced car roster and some form of vehicle gambling system. ![]()
