So it doesn't look like anyone here has said anything about this, but there is a new game coming out later this year called Speed Elixir, and it looks like it's trying to be the next TDU. They've shown pretty much none of the game, but I found it interesting that the studio making the game (Electro Phantom Games) was founded at the same time that Eden Games was killed off and TDU2 stopped getting support. Could this be like a TDU successor? I'm certainly going to try to keep up to date with it!
