I will publish a new article on this group as soon as there is more clarity about this new game.

Please take the following message with a grain of salt, nevertheless I would like to let you know that on the website of Kylotonn Games (Kt Racing) a web page has appeared with an unveiled project, it is probably the new Test-Drive game developed in collaboration with BigBen interactive. Both studios employ former Eden Games developers who have also contributed to the development of Test Drive Unlimited. Kt Racing is not unknown in the racing scene, the studio is mainly known for their WRC (World Rally Championship) games, the most recent of which is WRC 7 which was released on September 15 2017 for PC, PS4 and Xbox One, and probably after the release of that game have started to develop the as yet unannounced Test Drive game. We'll have to wait for an official announcement until then, I hope that you'll have fun with other games.

Bigben Interactive, known as the publisher of Sherlock Holmes: The Devil’s Daughter and the WRC series, has purchased the rights to the Test Drive franchise from Atari.

Despite being around since the 1980s, the series hasn't been as prolific and consistent with their releases as other well-known racing franchises like Need for Speed or Forza. The last entry into the Test Drive series came in 2012 with the release of Test Drive: Ferrari Racing Legends, which arrived shortly after Test Drive Unlimited 2 in 2011. Production of any Test Drive titles came to a halt when the previous publisher, Atari, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2013 and began to sell off their established franchises.

While nothing has been announced yet, Bigben's CEO says their teams are "very enthusiastic at the idea of being able to work on this license." Perhaps we will soon see another entry into this currently-dormant franchise, which has yet to make a splash onto current-gen consoles like the Xbox One.
