Gran Turismo 7 developer Polyphony Digital or publisher Sony Interactive Entertainment has yet to announce a release date for the racing game. However, a new YouTube advertisement discovered by a user on GTPlanet reveals the developer is targeting a release window in the first half of 2021.

The advert reads "Sortie prévue pour la première moitié de 2021," which translated to release scheduled for the first half of 2021.

Here is an overview of the game:

Whether you’re a competitive racer, collector, fine-tuning builder, livery designer, photographer or arcade fan – ignite your personal passion for cars with features inspired by the past, present and future of Gran Turismo.

From classic vehicles and tracks to the reintroduction of the legendary GT Simulation Mode – enjoy the best features from past installments of the series. And if you love to race – practice and compete in the FIA Championships and Sport Mode.

But Gran Turismo 7 is also about more than racing. Refine and create in the evolved tuning and customization mode or improve your skills and racing strategies through Driving School.

I feel like the adaptive triggers will do wonders for these kind of games. I see a lot potential here. The Dualsense impressions have been overwhelmingly positive.
