Ubisoft Nadeo Delays the Upcoming Remake to Trackmania Nations
According to Ubisoft Nadeo, the upcoming remake of Trackmania Nations has been delayed until July 1st, Canada Day. Like many other titles receiving delays right now, Trackmania’s remake is being delayed due to the uncertain climate presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the virus, developers working on the Trackmania remake are working from home for now and may be there until the game releases. Alongside the bad news for Trackmania fans came a new gameplay video that shows off the modernized content. When it releases on July 1st, Trackmania Nations Remake will be available on PC through Uplay and the Epic Game Store.
“Hello everyone, As you may know, the biggest international Trackmania competition, the Trackmania ZrT Cup already was postponed due to COVID-19,” said Ubisoft Nadeo. “Also, our teams have been adapting to working from home, and even though we already are back to a good level of efficiency we need some time to make up for the transition. As a result, we have decided to release the new Trackmania title on July 1st instead of May 5th. We know this is disappointing for those who were looking forward to getting their hands on Trackmania in May, but we believe this is the best choice for our players and our team, especially given the current circumstances.”
While the Trackmania remake was announced back in February, when the COVID-19 virus had already started to spread, Ubisoft Nadeo hadn’t factored the logistics of a pandemic into their release, forcing them to delay the title now. Though the team is working from home, they aim to keep spirits high as they said, “we are still motivated and working hard to perfect our creation tools, racing experience and in-game competitions. We can’t wait to create and race with you in July!”
