The Year 1 roadmap and post-launch plans for Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown have been revealed.
Designed as a game-as-a-service, Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown will benefit from extensive follow-up releases and regular updates that add numerous additional content and game modes to the original experience.
Based on a seasonal system, players will enjoy new activities, vehicles, rewards, and themes every 3 months. In Seasons 1 and 2, the Solar Pass will be offered to all players.
In a new video, Guillaume Guinet, Game Director & Alain Jarniou, Creative Director (and former Game Director of Test Drive Unlimited 2) of KT Racing present all the content planned for launch and post-launch of the first year (Year 1) of the game.
In this ten-minute video, the developers also provide further information on the community’s most important requests: real estate/houses, motorcycles and an improved steering wheel rotation angle in the game.
Season 1 – Starting content from September 12, 2024
The Solar Crown Contests are opening their doors! As soon as the game is released, the most competitive players can engage in a series of races and fast-paced challenges to climb the ranks, earn Solar Points, and reach the top of the leaderboard in hopes of becoming the next Solar King/Queen.
This first season also includes 60 player levels, 50 Sharps/Streets Clan progression levels, and a free 25-level Solar Pass containing various rewards including cosmetics and an exclusive car.
Season 2 – Ibiza Town celebrates its comeback
This second season sees the return of a familiar location that TDU2 fans have known for 13 years: Ibiza (Eivissa in Catalan) is back in TDUSC, more magnificent than ever. Players can explore the city and its surroundings, recreated at 1:1 scale in the KT engine, offering players a different and complementary experience to Hong Kong Island three months after the game’s release.
The season will be accompanied by an island-exclusive clan progression with 20 new levels, a Solar Pass, new rewards and exclusive cars, including 5 car models that have been reissued for the occasion.
Season 3 – Clan War, an ever-evolving game mode
The third season revolves around the clan war between the Sharps (whose members consider themselves the elite of sophistication and luxury) and the Streets (provocative and sometimes extreme in order to gain a profile) on Hong Kong Island and Ibiza/Eivissa.
This season also features 30 new clan progression levels and additional seasonal content.
Season 4 – The Casino, an iconic location in the Unlimited series
The fourth and final season of Year 1 marks the grand return of the Casino, a Test Drive Unlimited 2 fan favorite. This new Solar Crown version of the Casino offers players the opportunity to use their virtual currency in a variety of activities, including poker and slots.
In addition to the 50 player levels, the casino will give players the opportunity to win exclusive new cars, cosmetics and rewards.
In addition to the 4 seasons, Year 1 will benefit from updates designed to improve the gameplay experience, including ongoing work on the cameras and steering wheel animations in first person.
The TDUSC team is committed to keeping the game active for many years to come and to continuing to take into account player feedback and requests.
Fan-requested features and content, such as real estate and motorcycles, are currently being considered.
Get ready to immerse yourself in the Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown experience starting September 12, 2024 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, September 10, 2024 for those who pre-order the Silver/Sharp Edition on consoles, and September 5 for those who pre-order the Gold Edition (all platforms).
