Before the start of the reveal trailer showcased as part of June's PS5 games-focused event, Yamauchi confirmed that longtime fans of the franchise can expect a traditional campaign mode in the new title, complete with a world map-style interface that hasn't been seen since GT4. That certainly doesn't look to be true of GT7. (Image credit: Sony Interactive Entertainment) GT7's GT Town campaign mode map is a dead-ringer for GT4's Gran Turismo Resort, and is sure to please old-school fans.

Though, given this studio's history of shifting release dates and delays, none of this is very surprising. Alas, no rough time frame, let alone a mention of "2021," has been provided then or since - telling us that GT7's ETA is still in flux. However, you have to imagine that if Polyphony Digital was preparing this game to land in vague proximity to the PS5's launch, it would have alluded as much in the trailer. An Instagram post of the very same trailer we saw over the summer, accompanied by the caption of a ticking timer emoji, seemed to renew fans' faith the title would emerge sooner, rather than later. Technically, there's still an outside chance GT7 is being prepared for the latter stages of the PS5's launch window. Since the official GT7 logo was revealed as part of the first trailer, we know that Next Level's logo was fabricated. Interestingly, Next Level’s excuse for the controversial post was that the company’s “graphic design department used the mock logo that is circulated on the internet.” The only problem with that suggestion was that neither fans nor journalists were able to locate that logo online, anywhere - indicating that it was either the real deal, or that Next Level whipped the logo up itself.

Next Level later deleted the post (which, fortunately, is still preserved thanks to TheSixthAxis), then offered an explanation on its own website, stressing that the post was “misinterpreted by media,” and “ not reflect any information” about the game or its launch.
