Shortly after the release of Grand Prix Legends the sim racing community looked forward to another title that promised to offer a similar insight into historic racing. Trans-Am Racing ’68-’72 ultimately never released, a victim of a publishers shady dealings, but as a part of my research I uncovered a VHS of a never-released trailer for the game. Watch the trailer and read about what sim racing missed out on.
Asobo, known today as the Microsoft Flight Simulator developer, created groundbreaking technology for large scale maps that was intended to be used in a high quality rally raid title. It was never released and ended up as FUEL, a post-apocalyptic open-world racing game. What happened?
In an investors meeting this morning for Embracer Group, owners of Koch Media (who own Milestone), Milestone CEO Luisa Bixio said that her company signed the Superbike World Championship last year. Based on previous license renewals I would say it is safe to assume this is a 3-5 year deal. The first planned release is due July, 2022.
The previous Superbike titles from Milestone include the EA Sports titles between 1999-2001 along with SBK 08, 09, X, 11 and 2012 “Generations” releases.
