Today the Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages of SIMBIN UK went offline. This comes about five months after they closed their Discord that they had opened to communicate with us (something that never happened).
I’m not sure where this leaves the development of GTR 3, but it’s safe to say that the removal of these pages perfectly fits the extremely weird story of SIMBIN UK and GTR 3.
The frustrating bit of this for me personally is that I know the software existed in some form. They even got far enough along to create a teaser trailer at one point (that was never made public), so it’s just a bit crappy to see what could have been the ‘Assetto Corsa Competizione’ of it’s era go away without ever breaching the surface of the water.
If they ever do resurface, again, I think it’s going to take a lot of work for people to accept any item of news at all. I’m just tired. Aren’t you?
First announced early 2017 for 2018 release, so far GTR 3 has been subject to a number of delays. Developed in partnership with Sector 3 Studios, GTR 3 does not currently have an official release date.
