A mere month after it released Project CARS, Slightly Mad Studios has announced a sequel.

As was the case with the first game, Project CARS 2 will be crowdfunded – this time via the developer’s WMD Portal platform.

Upon completion, the game will release on new-gen consoles as well as Windows PC and SteamOS.

“With an existing schedule of on demand content already underway to continue providing Project CARS with fresh new features, updates, and great things to play with throughout the year, Slightly Mad Studios now turns its attention to the future with the announcement of the continuation of the franchise with Project CARS 2,” said the studio.

“And once again, the sequel will be created, tested, and ultimately approved by you – the gamers - through the WMD Portal crowd-funding platform.”
