Slightly Mad Studios and Bandai Namco have revealed four new tracks from Project CARS. They are as follows:

Sonoma Raceway
Sonoma Raceway (formerly Infineon Raceway) is a hilly road course and drag strip located in California. Twinned with Watkins Glen International (also in Project CARS) as a host of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series it sees regular use by many other motorsports on both four wheels and two.

Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps
Home to the Formula One Grand Prix, 24H endurance event, and many more, the famous circuit has seen many layout changes since 1920 although the infamously flat-out Eau Rouge has largely remained untouched making it one of the fastest and most exciting tracks in motorsports today.

Brno
Opened in 1987, the relatively-new Brno Circuit has been host to the World Sports Car Championship, A1 Grand Prix, and the Czechoslovakian Motocycle Grand Prix.

Willow Springs International Motorsports Park
With a blistering lap time of just 1 minute 6 seconds held by legendary racer Michael Andretti, the 9-turn track is the oldest permanent road course in the United States with elevation changes and high average speeds making it a favourite amongst drivers.

View the gallery above for screenshots from each track.

Yesterday, we learned that Jonathan Biddle left Curve Studios. Biddle largely contributed to Fluidity, Explodemon, and Stealth Inc.

Biddle’s newest project “White Space” remains in development – though he’s currently deciding whether to continue with it “or make something else I’ve got in mind.” Whatever the future holds, it sounds like we can expect his games on Wii U.

Biddle told Nintendo Life:

As far as I’m concerned, I want my future titles to be on everything, and that certainly includes Wii U – I love the thing. However, I think I’m probably nearly two years out.

Check out a trailer for White Space below:

Towards the end of last week’s Xenoblade Chronicles X Battle Presentation, a new female alien was shown. Here’s what director Koh Kojima shared on Twitter about her today:

“You must be wondering who that squid-headed female alien at the end of the battle video was, huh? You can tell she’s an evil creature. She’s very popular with the development staff. We think she turned into a really cool character. The design was made by Yoko Tsukamoto by the way.”

We’ve talked about Tsukamoto on here previously. In Japan, Tsukamoto is a well-known fantasy illustrator.
