After initially planning to be released during the launch window of the PlayStation 5, the game was delayed and then lost its 2021 release, but it has now been revealed that Gran Turismo 7, will in fact race onto PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 on March 4, 2022, check out the new trailer for the game below.

Over on the PlayStation Blog, there is a massive and I do mean massive breakdown, of the various modes and offerings that the game will offer, all written by the series creator Kazunori Yamauchi.

“The cultural environment surrounding cars has changed greatly in the past 25 years. Those of us who were born in the rich car culture of the times created the first Gran Turismo game, so it may be difficult for the current generation of automotive purists to be in the same type of cultural environment as ourselves back then.

The objective for GT7 in current culture today, is to design a game to convey everything from the last 150 years of car and racing culture, whether you are a lifelong fan or discovering cars for the first time” Kazunori Yamauchi, President of Polyphony Digital, Creator of Gran Turismo

The full blog can be found here, but the aspect that intrigues me the most is the Car Collection, where players will be able to inspect cars in the game. They will do this by way of the GT Café, which does require the game to be online, but it will allow players to discover specific collection of cars that have a cultural meaning from the past, present, and future. Players will progress and complete missions in the GT Café by acquiring prize cars from various races within the world, as well as from the Brand Central and the Used Car Dealership.
