Development history of Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown
Drive Unlimited Solar Crown review is a long-awaited continuation of the cult series of racing games, developed by a French studio Kylotonn (KT Racing) and published by the company nacon. Announced in July 2020 at the event Nacon Connect, the game is a continuation of the series after a long break since its release Test Drive Unlimited 2 in 2011 year.
Development of the game began with the ambitious goal of creating an open world based on Hong Kong Island at a 1:1 scale. The development team sought to return to players the feeling of freedom and luxury that was characteristic of the previous parts of the series. The development process was not easy and came with many challenges, including the need to optimize graphics and maintain server stability for online play.
The game's release was delayed several times to ensure high quality and optimization. In May 2022, it was announced that the release would be delayed to 2023, with the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions being canceled to focus on new consoles. In July 2023, the release was again pushed back to 2024, and in May 2024, the final release date was announced as September 12, 2024.
The main concept Drive Unlimited Solar Crown review is to create an MMO racing experience where players can not only race, but also develop their social and status lives while exploring a huge open world.
