Atari has confirmed that open world racing game – Test Drive Unlimited 2 – has been delayed until “early 2011.” They had the following to say;
“The new release date will provide the developers with additional time to fully enhance the connected console multi-player experience.
To date, Test Drive Unlimited 2 has generated great media buzz and incredible excitement amongst gamers and fans of the franchise.
By moving the title’s release date to early 2011, we will be able to further advance the game and take into account consumer feedback to help ensure we deliver a great online lifestyle racing experience.”
The upcoming beta has also been pushed back to coincide with the new release date. Those already signed up will be rewarded with an exclusive in-game item. The beta will be split into several phases, and a new date will be confirmed in the next few weeks.
Whilst on the surface this sounds like bad news, we are glad the game is getting more time. We are also glad it is being shunted out of the way of Need for Speed and Gran Turismo 5.

The game looks like it could do with a bit more development time in my opinion, not impressed by the graphics or the look of the handling. But I may be comparing it too much to GT5!
