Details on Project CARS
Project CARS released on May 7th, 2015 on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. To broaden their reach among all the next-gen consoles, the developers were working on a Wii U release that has been unfortunately abandoned due to the intense features in the game that can’t be supported by the Wii U. Specifically frames-per-second is the main issue.
Slightly Mad Studios is waiting on news from Nintendo, particularly on what type of new hardware they have in mind. In the event that the Wii U edition is not available, the backers who crowdfunded this game won’t be distraught, as the Wii U edition was always listed as a “maybe”.
Slightly Mad Studies was hoping that during this year’s E3 Nintendo would announce hardware updates so Project CARS could be released on the Wii U. As E3 has passed, no new information on Nintendo’s hardware has been announced, so the Wii U edition is looking very impossible.

Heading for a Sequel
Although Project CARS just released this past May, Slightly Mad Studios has started launching their crowdfunding campaign for a sequel. The sequel has no significant information currently except they hope to include a cooperative career mode, more race tracks, broadcasting methods, and lastly customizable test tracks. These might seem like wonderful features, but for them to become a reality they’re looking to raise $10.7 million.
