TrackMania Nations Forever - Beautiful, Great, Free

You probably are one of the 30 million people who have downloaded and installed the online racing game TrackMania Nations and I'm absolutely sure you were hoping for even more. If you did, your sweetest dreams are close to turning into reality, because the game's developers, Nadeo, have announced that the highly anticipated sequel, TrackMania Nations Forever, will be made available on the 16th of April 2008. I can already feel the excitement grow!

TrackMania Nations Forever will offer a new "Forever" version of the Stadium environment, a solid solo mode and 65 brand new, progressively difficult tracks. Yup, it is not a mistake: 65 new, different tracks only for you, for the best online racing experience you have ever seen or felt; the most important thing: everything for free! And if you considered that even more players were needed in the game, even more players you'll get thanks to its new and engaging multiplayer modes, innovative online functions and interactivity between players.

Florent Castelnerac, Director of Nadeo studio, said, "To satisfy this wide range of players, we designed the game for everyone instead of trying to focus on the average gamer. We have put a lot of effort in developing the competitive spirit and challenge between players in order to present a game adapted to big e-sports competitions while remaining captivating and accessible to players who have less gaming experience. Even if you play Nations Forever quietly alone, you can still be ranked in the world, your country, your city or even in your list of friends that you can create by inviting friends to join like in Facebook or MySpace. It is up to each player to set his/her goals - become one of the best players in the world or just impress friends."

The coming of TrackMania Nations Forever will also allow the convergence of the TrackMania community. For the first time in the game's history, players of the free versions will be able to play online with those from the retail version of TrackMania United on servers dedicated to the Stadium environment that is common to both games. Players of the TrackMania United retail version will also gain a free extension named "United Forever". So, you could ask yourself if you want more. Because I doubt there is more you could ask for. Just get ready to rumble, since the fun starts on the 16th of April!
