With the end of Evolution Studios’ time as part of Sony earlier this year, a lot of people were wondering what was happening with the VR off shoot to Driveclub that they’d been working on. Well, now we know a little bit more, as it’s just been officially announced as a Japanese launch title for PlayStation VR on October 13th, both as a retail and a digital release.
There’s little more information on the Japanese PlayStation Blog, and we’ll likely have to wait until an EU announcement for more, but Paul Rustchynsky, former game director on Driveclub, tweeted the following:
The new tracks are awesome by the way, some of my favourites in the game ;) #DRIVECLUBVR #PSVR pic.twitter.com/C0VN1LPceb

So, there’s new tracks to look forward to, but he declined to go further and explain just how much of Evolution’s work has remained and how much has been done since their departure.

I wasn’t expecting new tracks as well, hopefully they will be available for the main game too!

Even though this will probably extremely amazing, I can’t justify spending £350 on a PSVR.

I know what you mean about the price but this is probably the game that’ll convince me!

I agree, if one game was going to do it DriveClub could be it… Or GT Sport. I need to try one… Then I’ll probably need to start saving ha!

Excellent news! What a swan song for the guys and girls at Evolution, can’t wait to have a go.

Drive Club…..launch title…..sounds oddly familiar!
Let’s hope it goes better this time.

I hate to sound stupid, but is this ONLY for PSVR? Do owners of the game have to buy it again for VR?
