Test Drive Unlimited 2 gets free DLC apology

24 February 2011

In a display of believable remorse for launching a buggy game, Test Drive Unlimited 2 developer Eden Games has offered up their first DLC pack for free. The Exploration Pack DLC, initially planned as a pay-for DLC, will now be given away for free.

The game launched on 11 February 2011 in South Africa and the UK and not long afterwards the Eden Games forums were filled with complaining gamers. In a letter addressed to the Test Drive Unlimited 2 community, Eden Games has apologised by saying:

Thank you for your continued support and feedback. Our community has been amazing and helped us quickly identify a number of issues, which we have made significant progress in addressing in the upcoming patches.

We really appreciate your patience in this matter and we would like to announce that we will be making the first premium DLC for the game free for everybody as a way of saying thank you.

The Exploration Pack contains new wrecks to be discovered that unlock the Lancia Stratos version Rallye and 1969 Dodge Charger.

Eden games has rolled out fixes for the PC version of the game, and will have Xbox 360 and PS3 gamers up to scratch as soon as the patch is approved by Microsoft and Sony respectively.
