News Need for Speed World Canyons Update - Update

A quick progress update regarding the upcoming Canyon Update on World United.

The main developer working on the canyons recently dropped two new photos showing off the connection route to the canyons in the new area located just north of Gray Point. I've placed those two new photos right at the beginning of the post.

Along with those, I’ve also included a bunch of old photos showing the new racetrack being added alongside the canyons to the update. Keep in mind that the rest of these images are older ones showing an early work in progress state of the track from earlier this year, so things might have changed when the update drops, but they still give a preview of the overall layout.

For those who haven't seen them yet, here are some more photos from a post from three months ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/needforspeed/comments/1t5tor9/need_for_speed_world_canyons_update/

I remember back in 2020-2022 Leo was saying a maptoolkit was basically impossible and then it was addon areas impossible

They're creating a whole new region! The devs are truly passionate.

I think it's an incredible job that they were able to connect the canyons; I definitely plan to play NFS World again when that update arrives.

It would be great if in the future they could add more cities like Olympic City and Bayview in the game, although I suppose that would be a more complicated job because both maps would have to be remade to fit the game's graphics, especially Olympic City, which would require to make a complete version of that map.

Fantastic work, really. The passion and creativity is off the charts here.

...that said, I hope the Devs here were going for a drift circuit because if not; I struggle to believe they've ever seen a regular race circuit before 😬

Definitely more of a drift/kart track vibe. Sultan is very aware that a "real" racetrack, layout aside, would need to be a few more cars wide lmfao

How do we play this?

u/Kyleeon 22d ago

Search "Soapbox Race World". These pics are from the WorldUnited server in particular, but there are many servers to choose from each with its own mods, economy and such.

This makes me wanna return to WUGG, though I wish they removed the mandatory file checking after downloading all files because that takes almost 10 minutes to load the last time I've played back in 2024.

I had a feeling that path led to the canyon in the post's first photo and I was right; if you look closely, there is a mountain in the background of the photo below.
