Project CARS 2 eyes September release

MCV Staff 5th January 2017 Business News

The sequel to crowdfunded racing title Project CARS is aiming for a September launch.

That’s according to a post on Project CARS 2’s forum by developer Slightly Mad Studio’s CEO Ian Bell, in which he says that the current guess for a release date is ‘Septemberish’.

However, the exec is keen to point out that nothing is certain yet, and says that the studio is ‘a bit behind’ on the Career mode and game’s graphical user interface.

Project CARS 2 was announced in June 2015, with crowdfunding opening for the title at that point via Slightly Mad’s World of Mass Development portal.

The first title in this series launched in May 2015 following three delays. When the title hit shelves it was the first racing sim to claim the No1. spot since 2013. Furthermore, when it retained the top spot, it was publisher Bandai Namco’s first consecutive No.1 in 16 years.

Last year, a Game of the Year version of the title hit shelves, including the original release and all its DLC.

[Industry news] Core Keeper’s ancient Core becomes a one of a kind gaming PC, to be won for charity

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
