Included in the conversations is information on Test Drive Unlimited 2’s social features, such as the ability to customise your home and hang out with friends online) and the game’s attention to detail, like the realistic day/night and weather cycles.

February will see the release of Atari and Eden Games’ highly ambitious ‘massively open online racing’ game, Test Drive Unlimited 2, and the pair hope to deliver a title that effortlessly simulates not only the feel of racing, but the lifestyle of living on an exotic island while socialising with other online players, while customising your avatar and in-game home, experiencing the realistic weather systems and car damage, and progressing through the game’s story.

Test Drive Unlimited 2 will also feature extensive car customisation capabilities, allowing you to make your vehicles your own by changing basically every visual aspect, from the body colour and decals to the car’s interior, too.
