Atari og Eden Games kunne i februar måned, noget overraskende fortælle, at de allerede var på vej med Test Drive Unlimited 2. Selvom Atari ikke sagde det direkte, var det planen at spillet skulle indfinde sig i løbet af dette efterår. Nu har Atari og Eden besluttet sig for give det lidt mere tid og Test Drive Unlimited 2 vil således blive udgivet i løbet af næste forår. Den planlagte betatest, er også blevet rykket en smule. Atari oplyser ikke en konkret dato for hverken betatest eller spillets udgivelse, men lover komme mere nyt på den front inden længe.

Stockholm, Sweden (August 12, 2010) – Atari Europe, one of the world’s most recognized publishers and producers of interactive entertainment, along with developer Eden Games, announced today that Test Drive Unlimited 2 will now make its way onto European retail shelves in early 2011.The new release date will provide the developers with additional time to fully enhance the connected console multi-player experience for consumers and deliver the ultimate blend of exhilarating open world racing and a luxurious, fast-lane lifestyle.

“To date, Test Drive Unlimited 2 has generated great media buzz and incredible excitement amongst gamers and fans of the franchise,” said David Nadal, Studio Manager of Eden Games. ”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.”

Atari and Eden Games will also be shifting the Beta scheduling to coincide with the new launch and will reward those already signed up with an exclusive in-game item. Eden will confirm a new date for the Beta in the coming weeks that will roll out in several phases rewarding the most loyal fans and Test Drive communities with exclusive access to one of the most highly-anticipated racers of 2011.
