Speaking to Top Gear, Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi has confirmed that Gran Turismo is planned, and that they don’t want to take too long developing the game.
This means, in a best case scenario, that the game will arrive next year. While Gran Turismo 6 development was tough, he expects Gran Turismo 7 to get out the door much quicker, as “the PS4’s hardware is much better”, which means the overall quality will be boosted.
He also noted that he “respects” the competition, namely Forza: “The racing genre isn’t really that big in its entirety, so I’m glad that everyone works hard to boost the genre as a whole.”
It’s not a great way to market Gran Turismo 6, but it’s exciting that we’ll see the next generation of the racing simulation on PS4 so soon, particularly after the lengthy delays of the first PS3 title, Gran Turismo 5.

It’s best case scenario, so it’ll be 2015 with almost complete certainty. Still, that’s just two years away from 6 at most.

So no confirmation for next year then. Just that’ll not take as long as usual. Bit of a misleading article title guys. Disappointing.

Just seen the full comment from Kaz on another website. He does describe a 2014 release as a ‘best case scenario’ so apologies for my previous comment.

Im getting a PS4 and several games next week but i still want to buy GT6 ! The course maker GPS function has sold it for me, then there’s Aryton Senna features, awesome new tracks, upgraded UI and online components… I just wish i could afford a steering wheel set up to play it properly because it isn’t as fun with a controller.
