The release date for Nadeo’s Trackmania Turbo, the latest entry in the worryingly addictive arcade racer series, has been pushed back by publisher Ubisoft to early 2016.
”The Trackmania series has a strong community that’s at the heart of everything that we do,” reads a post over on the Ubi blog. ”It’s through their comments and various playtests that we have received valuable feedback for Trackmania Turbo. We take that feedback very seriously and we’re committed to ensuring that our fans – both old and new – will always have the best experience possible. With that in mind, we have decided to move the release date of Trackmania Turbo to early 2016.”
During that time the main focus will be on improving the game’s campaign, multiplayer modes and user interface, but Ubisoft says that the team is also working on a ”special mode” that will allow players to challenge their friends on user-created maps. On that note, the Trackbuilder tool’s also getting a bit of a refit, to make course creation less of a headache.
In the meantime, if you’re in the mood for loopy, physics-defying racing, you may want to check out the excellent (and free) Trackmania Nations Forever, also from Nadeo.
