Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown is headed to modern consoles and PC

Players will be able to explore a 1:1 recreation of Hong Kong island in the upcoming open-world racing game from Nacon and KT Racing. Whether they pick the side of the elite, luxurious Sharps, or the unruly, underground Streets, both factions will compete in the Solar Crown racing competition to emerge victorious.

This comes as great news for fans who have been looking forward to the game since its initial announcement in 2020. Many had given up hope of seeing a concrete launch after the game was delayed twice over the past few years.
