Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown Releases Season 7 Initial D Update
KT Racing has released Season 7 for Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown, bringing touge-style mountain duels and themed content inspired by Initial D.
Developer KT Racing has rolled out the Season 7 content update for Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown, dedicating the new patch entirely to the cult anime franchise Initial D and Japan's underground mountain racing scene.
The core addition is the new Duel mode, designed around nocturnal head-to-head battles on tight mountain passes in authentic touge fashion. Success in these runs requires balance between raw speed and vehicle preservation, as heavy mechanical damage or venturing off the road triggers an instant defeat.
The car lineup expands with the Mazda RX-7 FD3S, styled after Keisuke Takahashi's machine. Alongside the sports car, players gain access to an in-game Eurobeat radio station featuring classic tracks such as Déjà Vu, Gas Gas Gas, and Running in the 90's, accompanied by a dedicated manga-inspired visual filter and themed challenges offering commemorative rewards.
Beyond the anime tie-in, the patch introduces a revised chase camera perspective, rim diameter adjustments, and party support for groups of up to eight players. KT Racing also confirmed that real estate purchases and house customization are planned to return in Season 8, though a definitive release date has not yet been specified.
