More details about the upcoming “Gran Turismo 7” have been revealed recently, thanks to a promotional pamphlet that was being distributed in Japan. The booklet reportedly mentions how many cars, circuits, and parts will be featured in the game, among other gameplay highlights.
The promo material is written in Japanese, but thanks to the translation provided by GTPlanet user PettyWingman, fans now know that it confirms “Gran Turismo 7” will have more than 420 car models and more than 90 tracks, possibly all available at launch. The pamphlet also notes that tracks are designed with “realistic weather and realistic scenery,” while vehicles are expected to render in “the highest quality ever” in the series. The game is confirmed to include fan-favorite world circuits like Le Mans and Nürburgring, along with fictional circuits such as the Trail Mountain.
Car customization is another highly anticipated aspect of “Gran Turismo 7.” And photos of the pamphlet shared by Twitter user bookkyamp suggest that developer Polyphony Digital will not fall short on this department. One section of the pamphlet confirms that the game will let players choose from “130 types of wheels and 600 types of aero parts.” There are also typical car maintenance activities to be featured in the game, including oil change, car wash, and paint jobs.
The promo pamphlet also describes other game features in “Gran Turismo 7,” including the License Center where beginners can learn the basics of driving various car models in different courses. The game will also introduce Missing Challenges, namely 0-400m Battle, Drifting, and Max Speed Challenge. A Music Rally challenge is also mentioned, where players can “race to music.”
“Gran Turismo 7” made headlines recently after it received its ESRB rating, along with a side note that the game contains in-game purchases. This led to reports that it will feature microtransaction, which seems to be reiterated in the promo pamphlet as it mentions the presence of “Gran Turismo Credits.”
Meanwhile, it can be recalled that Polyphony previously confirmed the “Gran Turismo 7” campaign and GT Cafe will both require an internet connection to play. “It's just to prevent cheating overall from people trying to modify the save data,” director Kazunori Yamauchi told Eurogamer. “Gran Turismo 7” will be released on PS4 and PS5 on March 4, 2022.
