Each level also has one or more police cars along the course. Primarily these are two to four lane public highways with many turns each level is different, and they include obstacles such as bridges, cliffs, and tunnels in addition to the other cars already on the road. Levels begin with the player's car (and the computer opponent, if selected) idling on a roadway. The player initially is given the opportunity to choose a car to drive and a level of difficulty, which in turn determines whether the car will use an automatic or manual transmission-the number of difficulty options varies between gaming platforms. While the first game in the series had the player simply racing for time in a single scenario, Test Drive II improves upon its predecessor by introducing varied scenery, and giving the player the option of racing against the clock or competing against a computer-controlled opponent. Check out the full trailer above.Like the original Test Drive, the focus of The Duel is driving exotic cars through dangerous highways, evading traffic, and trying to escape police pursuits. It'll be a minute before we get to race around the streets of Hong Kong, but hopefully it's worth the wait. Unfortunately, we have some time to wait as the new game isn't coming until September 2022. Forza Horizon could use some competition these days. Like I said, we'll need to wait for some gameplay to see how TDU Solar Crown shapes up, but it's good to see the series rebooted at any rate. Indeed, we get a few shots of clubs, partying, penthouse views and more in the trailer. There will surely be a whole lot of luxury on tap, as TDU games are best known for. All the while, you'll try to raise your ranks within a clan to climb the floors in the Solar Crown Hotel - a fictional building in the recreated Hong Kong Island. Once you pick your clan, you'll get the chance to race around Hong Kong Island and carry out other missions like transport or escort gigs.

It's not clear yet what kinds of cars we're talking about, but we do see an Aston Martin DB11 and a Range Rover in the opening scene. They'll choose to roll with either "Sharps" or "Streets," which are two in-game clans with distinct vehicle choices. The player will race within a completely recreated Hong Kong Island. Nacon takes over publishing duties from Atari for this new TDU game, and KT Racing is driving development these days, rather than now-defunct Eden Games.Īlthough we didn't see any gameplay footage from TDU Solar Crown, we learned a lot about the game. The new video game made its debut during the Nacon Connect conference Tuesday. Ten years after the last TDU game showed up, Test Drive Unlimited 2, we received a new trailer for Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown - and it's heading to Hong Kong. Buckle up because the Test Drive Unlimited series is set for a return.
