Conceived and designed as a game-as-a-service, Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown will benefit from extensive follow-up and regular updates, with numerous additional contents and game modes added to the initial experience. Based on a season system, players will be able to enjoy new activities, vehicles, rewards and themes every 3 months. In seasons 1 & 2, Solar Pass will be offered to all players.
In a new video, Guillaume Guinet, Game Director & Alain Jarniou, Creative Director (and former Game Director of Test Drive Unlimited 2) at KT Racing present all the content planned for the launch and post-launch of the game’s first year (Year 1). In this ten-minute video, the developers also provide more information on key community requests: Real Estate/Housing, motorcycles, and improved steering wheel rotation angle in-game.
Season 1 – Launch content from September 12, 2024
The Solar Crown competition opens its doors! Once the game is released, the most competitive players will be able to embark on a series of races and frantic challenges to climb the ranks, collect Solar Points and climb to the top of the leaderboard in the hope of becoming the next Solar King/Queen. This first season also includes 60 player levels, 50 Sharps/Streets clan progression levels and a free 25-level Solar Pass featuring various rewards, including cosmetics and an exclusive car.
Season 2 – Ibiza city makes its comeback
This second season marks the return of a familiar location that TDU2 fans have known for 13 years: Ibiza (Eivissa in Catalan) is back in TDUSC, more splendid than ever. Players will be able to discover the city and its outskirts, recreated at 1:1 scale in the KT Engine, offering players a different and complementary experience to Hong Kong Island, 3 months after the game’s release. The season will be accompanied by an island-exclusive clan progression with 20 new levels, a Solar Pass, new rewards and exclusive cars, including 5 car models revisited for the occasion.
Season 3 – Clan War, a constantly evolving game mode
This third season revolves around a clash between the Sharps (whose members consider themselves the elite of sophistication and luxury) and the Streets (provocative and sometimes extreme, seeking to make their mark) across Hong Kong Island and Ibiza/Eivissa, with the arrival of the clan war. This season will also feature 30 new clan progression levels and seasonal content additions.
Season 4 – The Casino, an iconic location in the Unlimited series
The fourth and final season of Year 1 marks the grand return of the Casino, a favorite of Test Drive Unlimited 2 fans. This new Solar Crown version of the Casino will offer players the chance to wager their virtual currency through a variety of activities, including poker and slot machines. In addition to bringing 50 player levels, the Casino will allow players to win exclusive new cars, cosmetics and rewards.
In addition to the 4 seasons, Year 1 will benefit from updates designed to enhance the gameplay experience, including ongoing work on cameras and steering wheel animations in first-person view. The TDUSC team is committed to keeping the game active for many years to come, and to continuing to consider players’ feedback and requests. Features and content requested by fans, such as Real Estate and motorcycles, are currently being considered.

Mass Effect the Board Game – Priority: Hagalaz and a range of highly detailed resin miniatures are now available to pre-order at Modiphius Entertainment. This is a cooperative, story-driven game for 1-4 players designed by Eric M. Lang and Calvin Wong Tze Loon 黃子倫.
The game will retail for £40 / $50 and will be available from publisher Asmodee through friendly local gaming stores in early October, and from the Modiphius webstore. The Mass Effect miniatures range will only be available for early release via the Modiphius pre-order until they release in retail on N7 Day (November 7, 2024).
Set during the events of Mass Effect 3, the Normandy crew has one more mission. On the remote world Hagalaz, a research cruiser from the terrorist organization Cerberus has crashed directly in the path of a deadly storm. With little time before the storm hits, Shepard must lead their squad through the cruiser to uncover its sinister secrets and keep them out of the hands of the enemy. However, the ship holds more dangers than just its former crew. Deep within the shattered cruiser stir creatures and enemies far worse than the Cerberus forces that guard them.
Watch the Mass Effect the Board Game – Priority: Hagalaz trailer here, featuring Mark Meer, the voice of Commander Shepard.
Mass Effect the Board Game – Priority: Hagalaz is a quick to play co-operative, story-driven game for 1-4 players. A branching, narrative campaign allows for multiple playthroughs with a different experience every time. There are up to 14 missions, with the main campaign missions having Paragon/Renegade options. Card-driven enemy actions and evolving stories respond to your actions – your early choices influence later missions. Gather Shepard’s squad from a selection of teammates from the Mass Effect trilogy: Liara, Tali, Wrex, and Garrus. Customize and upgrade your squad’s abilities, equipment, and powers as they gain experience. Enhance them further by unlocking unique powers with optional loyalty missions.
The board game features six highly detailed 32mm pre-assembled plastic miniatures of male and female Shepard, Liara, Tali, Wrex, and Garrus for players to use as their game pieces.
Modiphius is also launching the Mass Effect miniatures range starting with five sets of 32mm highly detailed, collectible resin miniatures. The miniatures are available early through the Modiphius webstore pre-order to ship in October and will then hit stores on N7 Day (November 7, 2024). The miniatures can be used to upgrade the board game and are scaled to fit. The range includes:
Heroes of the Normandy Alpha – Alternate poses of the Normandy crew: Female and Male Shepard (with alternate helmets), Tali (with removable stand-alone drone), Liara, Garrus, and Wrex

Creepy Jar, the Polish studio best known for its wildly successful survival simulator, Green Hell, is hard at work on its next title, StarRupture. Built in Unreal Engine 5, StarRupture is an ambitious cross between base building, exploration, combat, and resource management on an alien planet torn by a catastrophic cycle of destruction caused by its life-giving star. Today, Creepy Jar is elated to give players a first look sneak peek into some of StarRupture’s dynamic gameplay with a focus on the hectic first-person combat in solo footage—because at its heart, StarRupture has a huge emphasis on its 4-player co-op component—to a base under assault from just a few of the dangers they’ll be facing on this far away planet.
StarRupture has three main gameplay pillars—base-building, exploration, and combat—and this action-packed trailer, taken from an early build, gives players a look at the pulse-pounding combat they’ll face in their bid for survival. Set in the far future, humanity has gone to the stars in search for precious resources. And the planet orbiting our namesake star, Ruptura, while being a resource-rich open world is also rife with dangers.
In the teaser clip, we see our lone explorer face off against hordes of enemies charging a custom-built base. If that isn’t enough, our exploding star is mere minutes from releasing an apocalyptic fire wave on the planet’s surface. All of our fighter’s vitals are looking good, but Creepy Jar isn’t forgetting their roots in survival and eagle-eyed viewers will notice not only the health and armour stats for our player/character, but also the thirst, toxicity, and hunger levels, as well.
Utilizing collected resources to create ammunition to load turrets as one line of defense, the player is valiantly attempting to protect a base under a full-scale assault and there’s no time to waste. As enemies make their way to destroy the base’s wind farm and storage buildings, a split-second decision is made to protect smelters and crafting pods from a terrifying new enemy assault on the other side of the base. While automated drones are busy zipping around their elevated tracks to deliver resources from location to location, the enemy assault becomes all but overwhelming. Making matters worse, our soldier looks up to see Ruptura ready to unleash its fiery blaze. With no time left to lose, the race is on to get to safety… but will he make it in time?
Taking what was learned over the 5-year journey of Green Hell, Creepy Jar’s experience makes it the perfect developer to support StarRupture’s three gameplay pillars of base-building, exploration, and combat. StarRupture sets itself in the story of man versus nature taking place in an otherworldly and breathtaking sci-fi environment where elemental cataclysms of extreme temperatures loom as a constant danger. The player takes up the mantle of a convict exiled from the Earth to serve their sentence by mining and expanding industrial production alongside researching new technology on a seemingly hospitable new planet rife with mystery and danger. Tasked with surviving the deadly waves of elements—not to mention facing down against hostile enemy monsters in tense combat—each cycle spells destruction yet ushers in a new era of growth and rebuilding. Played from a first-person perspective—adventuring solo or as part of an up-to-4-player group in co-op mode—players will be able to explore, adapt, mine, gather resources, and build complex machinery to survive and prosper.
Though by definition it is a base-building simulator, StarRupture is much more. The game will invite players to push beyond, to stay resilient and sharp against every assault, building and forming prior to the cycling eviscerating conditions on an otherwise beautiful planet. For fans of builders, management, sci-fi action, and combat StarRupture will challenge all comers to utilize the technology at their fingertips and weather both the extremities and fierce enemies in order to survive and create a prosperous industrial complex.

Paradox Interactive and The Chinese Room’s Writer, Cherish Goldstraw, and Narrative Director, Ian Thomas, introduced eight characters in their latest dev diary for Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2.
Dev Diary #16: Camarilla Court
The team at The Chinese Room has been hard at work, and we’re excited to show you the cast of our Camarilla Kindred this week.
Seattle has been dominated by the Camarilla for a century. It is an organisation of Vampires that has fingers in many aspects of mortal society to keep power. The Camarilla Court is under the leadership of a Prince who dictates the laws maintaining the Masquerade. Under the Prince, there are several official positions, such as Primogen who represent major clans and a Sheriff to enforce Camarilla law. Each has a place in the nightly affairs of Seattle.
Exploring the city will introduce you to these Kindred, and you’ll have the opportunity to talk to and learn about them in their preferred surroundings. Phyre’s relationship with each can develop as you spend more time with them. Depending on how you play the games of vampire politics with them, they may grow to adore or abhor you.
