GRID was one of the most popular racers of 2008. Ever since, gamers have been wondering when the racing title would see a sequel. Fortunately they won't have to wonder for long.
GRID was enormously popular, especially with its ten-second rewind mechanic that allowed players to back out of bad decisions. But development of the sequel fell afoul of a studio that was losing its way.
Codemasters recently went through something of an identity crisis. It had been developing action games such as Operation Flashpoint: Red River and Bodycount. But the Operation Flashpoint franchise lost popularity and Bodycount was largely dead on arrival to critics and audiences. These games had been distracting from a GRID sequel.
At the same time Codemasters had found increasing success with its racing franchises such as F1 and DiRT. As a result it chose to abandon all other genres and become a racing game developer and publisher. So GRID is finally getting its sequel four years later.
Currently Codemasters states it'll be arriving after F1 2012, so we may see GRID 2 as soon as late this year.
