Could Gran Turismo 5 really be available in time for Christmas after all? Plus, Kazunori Yamauchi admits that GT6 is already in the works…
Its release dates have moved time and again, and after Gran Turismo 5’s most recent release date of 3 November was cancelled, it began to look as though the racer wouldn’t appear in time for Christmas, despite promises to the contrary.
According to SonyStyle.com, the US release date will be “on or about 11/30/2010”, which is rather puzzling, but hints that the game’s arrival is at least imminent. Earlier this week, a Japanese online shop listed GT5 with a 23 December release date, though this has since been retracted.
At the very least, it has been confirmed that GT5 has gone gold, so 30 November may really be the date the game becomes available.
Meanwhile, Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi revealed in an interview that work was already underway for GT6, but refused to talk about the project in any detail.
“It's not something that we can talk that lightly on," Yamauchi said. "It took 2,000 days to get all the ideas that went into GT5. It's just too early to be talking about GT6."
If GT5 is anything to go by, the next game won’t arrive until sometime in 2025, and will feature 250mph hover cars powered by household waste.
