The delay is due to developers working from home during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. While the team is said to be working at “a good level of efficiency” following the change, a delay is still needed in order to “make up for the transition.” As a result, Trackmania’s original release date of 5 May has been pushed back to 1 July.

While the news is no doubt disappointing for those looking forward to the game, Ubisoft Nadeo softened the blow by giving fans their first look at gameplay, which you can see in the above trailer.

​A remake of 2006’s free-to-play Trackmania Nations, Trackmania, as the modern iteration is called, was announced during February’s Trackmania Grand League Finals in Lyon.

The remake will feature “easy-to-learn, hard-to-master” gameplay and a “fresh” visual style, along with a new seasonal campaign and daily track selections.

It’ll also make esports “accessible to everyone”, according to Nadeo, with in-game competitions ranging from daily events to “international open leagues.”

Trackmania is out 1 July on PC via the Epic Games Store and Uplay.
