"Atari Shifts Test Drive® Unlimited 2 Into First Quarter 2011; New Beta Dates Announced Soon Today we have an announcement pertaining to the release schedule for the highly anticipated Test Drive® Unlimited 2. Please see the following announcement for the details on the change in schedule and beta program: Dear TDU2 Community and fans, Eden and Atari are announcing today that the release date of Test Drive Unlimited 2 is being moved back to Q1 2011. We wanted to take some time to talk to you specifically, our community and fans, and explain why this is and what it means for you. As we are sure you are aware, TDU2 is a highly ambitious game and also very big. Since locking down the final features, some months ago, we have been busy getting the bugs out of the game, polishing all of the features to make the game as fun as possible, and ensuring that we deliver a robust and reliable online service from the day we go live. We’re at the point now where we have a pretty solid game, which is fun and could be launched shortly. However, with a few extra months of polish it could be even better. We know that this delay will come as a disappointment to many of you but we hope that you will understand the benefits of taking the time to get this right, because it now gives us more time to listen and respond to feedback from the Beta program. We will be announcing the new Beta dates shortly, as well as revealing exclusive Beta tester rewards, as a thank you for their patience and continuing support. Thank you, The Test Drive Unlimited 2 Team"

I'm actually sort of relieved. Too many games this fall to enjoy.

I kind of figured it would be delayed. Haven't heard anything about it since about April, and it was supposed to be released next month.

Yeah, while this was one of my most anticipated games of the year, it going to release along side F1 and followed by SBK X the next week. This is also just weeks after Halo Reach comes out.

So - I'll be looking for info to get in the beta and waiting for 2011 when I can dedicate all my time to this one great title.
