A BugBear Entertainment gárdájánál a srácok jelenleg teljes erővel a Next Car Game fejlesztésére koncentrálnak. Hónapokkal ezelőtt vált elérhetővé az előrendelők számára a 2-es változat, így már éppen itt volt az ideje, hogy a srácok egy újabb verzióval kápráztassák el a játékosokat.
Szerencsére ezúttal sem kell csalódnunk a finn csapatban, akik egészen komoly hármas számú változatot dobtak össze. Az újdonságok listáját ezúttal is lentebb olvashatjátok angol nyelven.
