Slightly Mad Studios must be addicted to that new Project Cars smell. The developer has already begun work on Project Cars 2, just a month after releasing the original (and frequently delayed) game.
Slightly Mad is once more using the World of Mass Development platform to let fans pre-fund the game and participate in its creation, with multiple buy-in tiers open now. If you care to drop £10,000 / $15,824 on the Diamond tier, you can even get a private Michelin-starred dinner with the head of the studio and a luxury weekend with a Ferrari 458 Spider (though I'm not sure how much of your money will be left to fund the game after paying for all that).
Project Cars 2 will also feature 50 locations with more than 200 courses, many of which will capitalize on "loose surface racing" with dirt, gravel, mud, and snow. Multiplayer enhancements include a new co-op career mode for spotters, co-pilots, and driver swaps, better online matchmaking, and the option to let other players take over AI opponents in career mode.
Slightly Mad Studios plans to release Project Cars 2 on PC, PS4, and Xbox One, though it didn't specify a release window. Hopefully the original game - which still has a substantial lineup of free and paid DLC before it - will be enough to hold players over until then.
