Nadeo and Ubisoft have pushed out some more details onTrackMania 2 Canyon. Namely, the closed beta for the sequel is going to start in July, withManiaPlanet— a connected system for PC which contains tools that allow for user-made “game creation and participation” — also gearing up around then.
So, what exactly is ManiaPlanet? Think along the lines of features you saw inTrackMania— a map editor, an explorer for created content, ranking, and matchmaking.TrackMania 2 Canyonwill be the first title to release on this system, followed by its shooter and RPG counterpartsShootManiaandQuestMania, respectively.
Essentially, it’s all about the community. While we don’t have any substantial information onShootManiaorQuestManiayet, the former is getting a closed beta “in the coming months.” Similarly, the latter will have a beta “at a later date.” Both of these seem strangely compelling to me. Also,TrackMania 2looks ridiculous.
