It's been almost exactly a year since theMMO on the way from KT Racing. Solar Crown is set in Hong Kong, and will be arriving on hard drives near you September 22, 2022.
A flashy new trailer for the racing game debuted during Nacon Connect, which showed off some of the scenery, the high-end clubs and glamorous jewelry, and of course the high-powered vehicles you'll be whipping over the streets in when Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown arrives next year. An Aston Martin DB11 faces off against what appears to be a heavily-customised Range Rover Sport, before the clip transitions to a beach race between Mercedes-Benz and Porsche SUVs.
Supercars scream down narrow alleys between shots in bumping dance clubs, and we're back to the DB11 and Range Rover, which have made it to a shipping dock in time to screech beneath a descending container. It all looks extremely cool, and everyone seems to be after a gigantic diamond held in a plush leather briefcase.
Here's the trailer:
Developer KT Racing said during the show that it's constantly working on advancing its driving tech, but it's also focusing heavily on its landscape technology this time around – the better to create a full-size version of Hong Kong island.
Test Drive Unlimited looks like it's angling to be a more caper-oriented spin on the open-world driving of Forza Horizon, and we'll be keen to take it for a spin when it comes out next year.
