Gran Turismo 5: Academy Edition Coming Soon

 

Hello everyone,

I am pleased to announce today a brand new version of Gran Turismo 5 that will be heading your way early this Autumn to celebrate the fourth year of the collaboration with Nissan on the ground-breaking GT Academy programme.

Titled Gran Turismo 5: Academy Edition, this rather nice package comes brimming with a whole host of extras, including the following content previously available on PlayStation Store:

  • Complete Pack (Car Pack, Course Pack, Special Paint Pack, Racing Gear Pack)
  • Car Pack 2
  • Car Pack 3 and Course Pack 2
  • The Nissan GTR driven in this year’s Nurburgring 24 hour race by series creator Kazunori Yamauchi.

The price for this exhilarating bundle of fun? €29.99/£19.99 or your local currency equivalent.

Gran Turismo series creator Kazunori Yamauchi had this to say about this special edition package.

GT Academy has captured the imagination of many Gran Turismo fans. It is exciting to watch what Lucas Ordóñez, Jordan Tresson, Jann Mardenborough and Bryan Heitkotter in the USA, are achieving in their new racing careers with Nissan.

People can now see that it is possible to make the switch from being a fast gamer to become a real racing driver. We wanted to mark the tremendous success of GT Academy with the very latest version of GT5.

GT5: Academy Edition is due for launch on 26th September and there is more news yet to come on this title, so keep an eye on the PlayStation Blog and gran-turismo.com for more information.

Love the packshot, PD makes the best ones.



Good, I was wondering when they'd do a re-release in Europe. And that is a lovely GTR.



that box art is really cool. I am tempted to buy the game again XD



dat box art!! omg ! very nice



Around the Network

Every DLC+Spec 2.0 game for 30 euros. Buying it again. Hope they use the Spec 2 opening standard in this game.



Epic.

Now I can say the GT5 will sell over 1.5 million this year... near 9 million after December.

So 10 million late 2013 or early 2014.



Wow, 30€ launching price? I will get this day one to show my support for this honest decision!



must-have-list for platforms i don't own yet:

WiiU: Donkey Kong

XBone: Dead Rising 3, Ryse

How much do you think GT5 will sell in the end? I think around 11 million. With GT5:P included, GT5 will have sold around 16 million.

It's include all content in XL Edition.
