Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown delayed again, now due "early 2024"

Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown, the latest instalment in the open-world racing series, has been delayed again, and is now due to arrive on Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, PC, and Switch in “early 2024”. In better news, its long-promised closed beta begins later this month.

Solar Crown – which ambitiously promises a full digital recreation of Hong Kong Island and its 550km of roads to recklessly careern around – got its official unveiling back in 2020, and was originally expected to launch across all platforms in September last year.

However, as May 2022 rolled around, publisher Nacon announced it was shifting Solar Crown’s release back to some undisclosed point in 2023, and confirmed it was ceasing development of the previously announced PS4 and Xbox One versions “with the aim of making the most of the technology in the latest consoles and maximising the overall quality of the game”.
