The wait for Gameloft’s most awaited racing game seems to go on forever after it was delayed once. On August 8th, when Google demoed their new Nexus 7, they did it in style by taking Gameloft’s Asphalt 8 and showing off the device’s ability to handle high end graphics. Gameloft announced the game back in June with the first trailer.
The game was expected to hit in the first week of August, but it was delayed by Gameloft and there was no definite date on the cards. Meanwhile, a lot of fake apps started pouring out into the market with the Asphalt 8 name and started confusing the users. To put an end to all speculations, Gameloft, via their Twitter account, announced that they will be launching the game on August 22nd in the Play Store and Apple App Store. In the meantime, there are holding a sweepstakes contest giving away 21 pre-launch download codes as you get to download the game before its launch.
The latest version of Asphalt 8 will feature new locations that include Nevada, London, Iceland and Tokyo. A new weather engine that introduces rain soaked roads, ice and dust will add more challenges to the gameplay along with a new physics engine that makes stunts and crashing more realistic. The game will be launching for $.99 similar to the Asphalt 8.
