Test Drive Unlimited 2, a game of fast cars and luxurious islands, is confirmed for launch in February 2011: February 8 in North America, February 10 in Oceania, and February 11 in Europe.

Test Drive Unlimited 2 is located on both Mediterranean Ibiza and Oahu, Hawaii. Ibiza is all-new, while Oahu makes a return after its appearance in 2008's original Test Drive Unlimited. 

Players of TDU2 will be able to cruise around, join races and clubhouses, and purchase a whole host of cars, houses, clothes, and even cosmetic enhancements for their in-game characters.

Like Burnout Paradise, players can trundle about in high-performance vehicles until they find something that takes their fancy. They spruce up their rides using a livery editor akin to that of Forza Motorsport 3.

There's also a special casino to which complimentary access is granted for those who choose to pre-order ahead of time on PC, Xbox 360, or PlayStation 3.

Other pre-order bonuses are specific to different retailers, and include exclusive access to some of TDU2's vehicle models.

Among them are versions of the Caterham Superlight R500, Audi RS 5, Ferrari 612, Aston Martin V12 and DB5, Bugatti Veyron, Ford Shelby and the Pagani Zonda.
