Today the artificial intelligence-dedicated arm of Sony, Sony AI teased the reveal of its “gaming flagship,” and it’s likely about Gran Turismo 7.
The tease made on the company’s official Twitter account, mentions a collaboration with Gran Turismo developer Polyphony Digital, and with the seventh numbered chapter of the franchise coming soon, it’s likely safe to assume that it’ll be featured in the game.
The reveal will be on Wednesday, February 9.
You can check out the teaser trailer below.
The video includes the mention of “racing together” and shows some of the champions from the Gran Turismo Sport competitive scene.
While at the moment this is simply my speculation, the project might involve programming the AI drivers in GT7 to race following these champions’ style.
We’ll have to wait for the official announcement and see what it is.
Sony AI is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sony established in 2020 to “accelerate the fundamental research and development of AI and enhance human imagination and creativity, particularly in the realm of entertainment.”
Gran Turismo 7 will be released for PS4 and PS5 on March 4, 2022. You can check out the announcement trailer, the video that shared the release date, and the latest gameplay reveal.
You can thentake a look at the editions available to plan your pre-order, a gameplay video focusing on the return of the Deep Forest Raceway track, another showing Daytona, and the new Porsche Vision Gran Turismo.
We also saw a series of trailers started a few months ago in which producer Kazunori Yamauchi talked about car culture in general, one on collecting cars, one on racing, one on liveries, one on the Scapes photo mode, one featuring tuning, and one on the power of PS5.
“GT7 was developed in part to provide an in-depth retrospect of the past 150 years of automotive history, highlighting everything from production cars, concept vehicles and race machines. It continues to convey the same values of the first Gran Turismo, which was released 25 years ago, but in a much broader all-encompassing fashion with the intent to not only satisfy die-hard GT fans, but attract a new generation of players who are just learning about cars.
As the culmination of the Gran Turismo series, major improvements have been made in every area, such as its systems and overall content.”
