The attention to detail in Sony and Polyphony Digital's Gran Turismo has always been impressive to see, and with this new look at Gran Turismo 7 we get to see the latest and most impressive version of that detail so far. We also get a release date.

And church organs, plenty of church organs.



"I still clearly remember the inexplicable eagerness and excitement of that day when we introduced the first Gran Turismo game to the world for the first time on the original PS1 console," writes Kazunori Yamauchi, President of Polyphony Digital and Creator of Gran Turismo. "With that same inexplicable sense of excitement, I’m happy to report that Gran Turismo 7 will be available on March 4, 2022, simultaneously on both the PS5 and the PS4 consoles."

"The cultural environment surrounding cars has changed greatly in the past 25 years," he continues. "Those of us who were born in the rich car culture of the times created the first Gran Turismo game, so it may be difficult for the current generation of automotive purists to be in the same type of cultural environment as ourselves back then. The objective for GT7 in current culture today, is to design a game to convey everything from the last 150 years of car and racing culture, whether you are a lifelong fan or discovering cars for the first time."

With that in addition to realistic vehicles, dynamic weather, and stunning tracks there's also the focus on customisation with an improved Livery Editor, new and expanded photo modes, and a "car collection" focus that sounds very cool.
