After its long radio silence, there finally is news about GTRevival - although it will not be called that: A new publisher and name for the project are to be revealed soon.
News about GTRevival were frequent in late 2023 and January 2024, but the upcoming racing simulator project by Straight4 Studios has fallen silent since. Behind the scenes, however, work was ongoing, and it resulted in some more interesting news, as OverTake was told at the Secret Meet track day at Silverstone.
Straight4 attended the event to run a Lister Storm GT with Handling Consultant Ben Collins - Top Gear's former Stig - behind the wheel, as well as to scan the car. We were invited to tag along.
The studio had two big pieces of news waiting: First, the game will not be called GTRevival after all. Second, the team has found a new publisher. Initially, Straight4 had signed with Plaion, which has been affected by the financial troubles of Embracer Group earlier this year.
The new publisher and game name are not known yet, but more info will be shared in mid-July, according to Straight4. The upcoming game sees large parts of the original team behind the GTR and Project CARS series reunite to create a new racing simuation.
Studio CEO Ian Bell had briefly broken the radio silence in May, stating that the game would also be developed on a new engine instead of Unreal as initially planned. The reason for this change in course was the VR implementation, according to Bell. Information on what the new engine might be is not available yet.
