The upcoming racing video game Project Cars is apparently getting ready to rev engines on the PS4, Xbox One and PC starting November 21.

The news comes from a tweet from retailer GAME, who posted a message claiming that the UK division of publisher Bandai Namco provided them with information regarding the video game's launch date.

Bandai Namco has yet to announce (or confirm) the proper launch date for the racer, aside from the previous reveal of a November window, but if the news is legitimate, expect the official announcement to land shortly.

The video game started out as a crowdfunded project and ended up way beyond its initial scope, offering a detailed and realistic driving and racing simulation.

Developer Slightly Mad Studios previously worked on Need for Speed: Shift and Test Drive: Ferrari Racing Legends, two entries in some of the most recognizable and long-standing racing video game franchises.

The community-based racing sim includes a full-fledged dynamic weather system that influences gameplay, and aims to deliver a realistic driving simulation, with several high-profile professional racing drivers working as consultants to make sure that the experience ends up as faithful as possible.

The game is said to drop on November 21 for PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4, and a Nintendo Wii U version is also in the works, slated for release sometime next year.
