Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown: Year 1 Roadmap Revealed
Last Updated: November 5, 2025
Following its ambitious launch, Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown is revving its engine for the long road ahead. Developer KT Racing and publisher Nacon have unveiled an extensive Year 1 post-launch roadmap, promising a steady stream of new content, major gameplay updates, and highly sought-after vehicles for the open-world racer.
The detailed plan outlines four distinct seasons and two massive free updates, ensuring the luxury lifestyle and competitive racing on Hong Kong Island will continue to evolve and expand for all players.
A Packed Schedule for Hong Kong Island
The post-launch strategy for Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown is built around a seasonal structure, with each season lasting approximately three months. This approach aims to provide a consistent flow of new challenges, vehicles, and cosmetic items, keeping the endgame fresh and rewarding dedicated players. The first year is divided into four seasons, each with a unique theme, alongside two game-changing free updates available to everyone.
Season 1 (Launch - November 2024): The Sharps vs. The Streets
Kicking off immediately at launch, Season 1 establishes the core rivalry of the Solar Crown competition. Themed "The Sharps vs. The Streets," this inaugural season pits the two main factions against each other in a battle for supremacy across Hong Kong Island. Players can expect a full slate of new daily and weekly challenges, exclusive rewards tied to the season's progression, and the introduction of new high-performance vehicles, including coveted models from Maserati. This first season sets the stage for the competitive narrative that will drive player engagement throughout the year.
Season 2 (December 2024 - February 2025) & Major Update #1
The new year will usher in Season 2, titled "The Liberty Walk / The Japanese Garden." This season signals a major collaboration with the legendary Japanese tuner Liberty Walk, promising a wave of aggressively styled wide-body kits and unique vehicles for players to collect and customize.
Arriving during this season is the first of two Major Free Updates planned for Year 1. This update will introduce "The Agency," a brand-new game mode focused on film-making and stunt driving. This adds a completely new creative dimension to the TDUSC experience, allowing players to become automotive videographers, completing challenging shot lists and creating their own cinematic masterpieces. The update is also expected to bring significant quality-of-life improvements based on early player feedback.
Future Seasons and a New Horizon
While details are more distant, the roadmap gives us a clear look at the rest of the year. Season 3 (March - May 2025) is themed around a historic racing clash, "The Italian Elegance vs. The British Chic," bringing iconic European supercars and grand tourers into the spotlight.
The most significant reveal on the roadmap is planned for Season 4 (June - August 2025). Alongside this season, Major Update #2 is slated to launch, featuring the highly anticipated addition of a completely new island to explore. This massive expansion will significantly increase the game's landmass, adding new roads, challenges, and environments, and fulfilling a core promise of the Test Drive Unlimited legacy: a vast, ever-expanding world.
This detailed roadmap demonstrates a strong commitment from KT Racing to support and enrich the Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown experience long after its initial release. By blending themed seasonal content with substantial free updates that add new ways to play, the first year is poised to build upon the game's foundation, solidifying its place as the definitive open-world racing lifestyle simulator.
