BrutalGamer Bringing you Brutally Honest feedback from today's entertainment industry.
The next game, and really rebirth for the Test Drive franchise is on the way with Solar Crown. A special look is coming next week.
Taking the crown
Race fans, get ready to rev those engines again in a game bearing the Test Drive banner. NACON and KT Racing’s reinvigoration for the long-running franchise is on the way, and we’re finally about to get a good look at it in action. Probably.
Details are a little sketchy at this point, so we’re not sure what will be shown exactly, but NACON has announced special event dubbed TDU Connect. This new streaming event will give fans the chance to see the long-awaited game in action.
In a 1:1 scale recreation of Hong Kong Island, take part in an extraordinary competition, the Solar Crown, organized by the influential Radiant. At the wheel of exceptional racing cars from prestigious brands like Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bugatti, Koenigsegg, Dodge, Apollo and many more, you are free to explore the island’s varied environments, or take part in the most popular races on Hong Kong Island. Beyond the cars in your stable, a reflection of your inspiration and reward for all your hard work, you can customize your lifestyle any way you see fit: choose your clan, Sharp or Street, and dress to impress, stand out from the crowd and defend your clan. Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown retains the DNA of the original works, while bringing a modern updated vision of the multiplayer racing game, to offer players luxury, exceptional cars and competition, reflecting the life that they’ve always dreamt of.
NACON press release
Luxury? From the sound of that, Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown won’t be a racer that solely focuses on the track. Aside from the above, the press release also mentions the “high-class world of motor sport, lifestyle and glitz”. That certainly sounds like there will be some added mechanics and features. Again though, we’ll have to see because there just isn’t much information available at the moment. Though that’s the point of TDU Connect.
Fortunately, you won’t have to wait long to check that out. TDU Connect will be streaming on July 12th, beginning at 19:00 CEST (which is 1pm EST). The show will be 30mins in length, so it should be pretty packed.
