ATARI gave the OK for Test Drive Unlimited 2

Eden Games in charge for the second free-roam installment in road racing series for 360, PS3, and PC.


After four years of waiting, Test Drive is ready to get you back on the road. Atari announced that Eden Games will be in charge of making Test Drive Unlimited 2 for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC.


Like TDU, Unlimited 2 will feature "massively open online racing," which lets players free-roam, running into other players, having the possibility to challenge or cruise along with them . The first Unlimited took place on the Hawaiian island of Oahu, Test Drive Unlimited 2 will have an entire new island ready for speed, new vehicles and race types,as well as a new redone single-player mode,available for both off and online play. New features like weather effects and vehicle damage will also be included.


Unlimited 2 means a return for developer Eden Games, well known for developing racing games like Atari's V-Rally series and Need for Speed Porsche. Test Drive Unlimited was the studio's last racing game, the developer meanwhile working on Atari's Alone in the Dark revamp in between the two projects.
