Polyphony Digital has announced a major two-part update for Gran Turismo 7. Dubbed Spec IV, the update will follow up on the changes made to the racing sim with Spec III last year. Part one of the Spec IV update will come to Gran Turismo 7 in October, with the second part coming out in December. Check out the announcement trailer below.
A major addition to the list of tracks in Gran Turismo 7 with Spec IV will be Japan’s SUGO Circuit, which offers plenty of challenges thanks to its elevation changes. Long-time Gran Turismo fans will also be happy to see the arrival of the beloved Autumn Ring track with its original layout. An expanded version of Autumn Ring with a larger-scale racing circuit is also coming.
When it comes to cars, Gran Turismo 7 Spec IV will get 12 cars released across the two separate updates. More features will also be coming to the update, including Online Drift Trials and Shuffle races. Details about these, however, will be revealed at a later time.
Finally, the studio is also working on what it refers to as “one of the main highlights” of the Spec IV update – Family Mode. This new mode will feature family-friendly gameplay mechanics that allow even younger children to play and enjoy the racing sim. It will also include features that veterans of the franchise can enjoy.
More details about Gran Turismo 7 Spec IV will be revealed during the Gran Turismo World Series event on October 3rd. The studio has also hinted at bigger plans to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Gran Turismo franchise next year.
