Test Drive Unlimited fans can expect news about the upcoming title Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown on May 30, officially announced by the franchise. Nacon announced Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown in 2020 with a planned release for 2023, postponed to 2024, and although it was supposed to be released in the year's first quarter, that wasn't the case.
Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown will be set on the island of Hong Kong, replicating the territory on an accurate scale of 1:1 and offering 14 different districts. Players can choose between one of the two world clans in the game, the Streets or the Sharps, each with their own characteristics. Players can pursue a solo career without the perks that the clans promote, like exclusive rewards in the form of cars, among other things. Initially, the game was set to come out for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, but those versions were canceled and now Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown will be current-gen only.

Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown Has a Special Announcement on May 30
Fans speculate that Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown will finally unveil a release date on May 30. Although it has kept the community updated with new details of the upcoming game, like Solar Crown's controversial always-online requirement, Nacon has yet to inform a definitive release date officially.
The publisher did provide loose information about the open-world racing game in its latest fiscal report. According to the document, Nacon expected to release five titles in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year 2023/2024, which was between January 1 and March 31, 2024. These titles were Taxi Life, Garden Life, Welcome to Paradize, Crown Wars the Black Prince, and Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown. The first three were released within this timeframe, while Crown Wars the Black Prince was released on May 20, and Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown has no release date, disrupting Nacon's expected schedule.
While May 30 hasn't arrived yet, those awaiting Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown can do Vivian's missions. If the missions prove too tricky, the publisher invites players to join the game's official Discord and ask their fellow players for tips.
