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?
Better known today as the developer of Skyrim and Fallout, Bethesda once had a well-respected racing game franchise and were deep into development of a licensed Skip Barber Racing title that never released.
Raceward today posted a new trailer for TT Isle of Man 3 that showcases some of the other circuits and a press release that details the map as a whole. It’s quite an interesting idea as apart from the official Snaefell Mountain Course there will be 200km of drivable roads with additional gameplay, offering a total of 32 different circuits, including both historic and current courses.
Press release below trailer.
