Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown is continuing on its redemption path, as the first two images of an updated graphics engine have been released. This follows the formal announcement that visual changes were in development earlier this year.
As the Hong Kong setting is mostly surrounded by the South China Sea, they depict the coastline.
Part of the upcoming graphics overhaul to the ageing, proprietary KT Engine that powers the game is specifically for the water effects. These early, motionless signs do point to a genuine improvement.
These were a bone of contention even pre-releases, as shots of a Porsche Taycan splashing through a crossing in one of the trailers (and the water effects in the studio’s prior WRC titles) looked a little dated.
“Considering TDU is on islands, here is our new work in progress water shader. See other improvements next week!” reads the social media caption alongside the pictures.
