   Remember when Atari sold their Driver franchise to Ubisoft, last summer? If so, then you may also remember that one of the reasons invoked for the $24 million deal (other than the financial mess they were in) was that they wanted to focus their portfolio on just a handful of franchises. And since Test Drive Unlimited is the most prominent racing series (still) left in their possession, it's only natural to assume they would continue to "focus" on it by milking more titles.

   Exactly what kind of sequels they have in mind, that's a whole 'nother story. A story that, according to Polish website GRY-OnLine, just got a little more clear today. Citing an anonymous, but "100% reliable" source, they claim that Test Drive Unlimited 2 is indeed in production, with a projected release in March 2008 for the PC and Xbox 360. May we remind you that the latest TDU - which was received fairly well on all platforms - was also released on the PlayStation 2 and PSP. So it would be pretty weird for Atari not to plan a PS3 release for Test Drive Unlimited 2 (assuming GRY-OnLine's info is accurate).

   Platforms aside, they also predict that the sequel will introduce off-road racing, a dynamic weather system, and, from what they told Blue's, over 2400 Km of more-or-less-exotic roads. Which means that the sequel could have a larger world, compared to the 1000 miles (1600 Km) allegedly featured in the first TDU. And that's great, because free driving is what this game is all about.
