I'm pretty confident at this point that TDU2 is in development since it was announced by Eden Games' David Nadal weeks before Phil Harrison joined Atari, and at the Atari Live conference Phil Harrison said he considered TDU among the top franchises in Atari's library, and was one of the reasons why he joined Atari. I think its a good thing that they are sitting on it.
I'm just hoping they shore up a few issues:
- DLC coming way too late to PC
- too many different menus-- in the PC version theres basically 4 different menus where you access game options/information: Escape menu where you can set game options, Pause menu where you can restart races/take photos, map menu where you can find races/friends, and Property menu where you can find information about your progress
I'd expect TDU2 to hit the same platforms as Alone in the Dark did.
