Test Drive Unlimited 2 announced

Namco Bandai has announced Test Drive Unlimited 2 for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.

The sequel to the 2007 Atari title will hit shelves this autumn. Once again, the game is positioned as a MOOR – Massively Open Online Racer.

Players will be able to drive some of the hottest cars around a vast open world that seamlessly blurs single-player and multiplayer challenges. TDU2 features constant, automatic updates and a revamped offline narrative mode.

"After the highly successful Test Drive Unlimited, which redefined the genre, Test Drive Ulimited 2 will be an innovation evolution in racing games, expanding its unparalleled multiplayer experience and immersing players in a world full of new online content and lifestyle customisation," said Atari CEO Jeff Lapin.

"The game squarely fits into our strategy of moving online and generating new revenue streams while maintaining our current retail business."
