It's time to take a look at what is coming up in the August update! As part of launching
into Early Access, we said we'd be making one major update per month and this post will
let you know some of what you can expect from August.

Please keep in mind that everything in this post is subject to change - we may find
a bug or problem that prevents us from including certain features - but this is the broad
set of things we're hoping to include.
Keyboard Key Rebinding
With this update, you'll be able to bind different sets of keyboard controls, to any set of
valid keyboard keys. Grab your friends and huddle around the keyboard for some local
multiplayer!
New Car
Next on the agenda, the first new car since the launch of Early Access: the Truck! This little
guy is aimed at providing close racing and a heavier feel than some of the other vehicles in
the line-up so far.

We're looking forward to seeing people go door-to-door in it when the update
goes live, and we think it'll be a player favourite when online multiplayer launches in the
coming months!
New Objects & Variants
We'll be continuing to build out the objects and variants available in the Track Editor with
this update. A few of the things you can expect can be seen in this preview image - and you
might find a few others scattered throughout the images we post on social media over the time
leading up to the release date!
New Tracks
Once again, TuomoH will be working his magic and delivering a couple of new tracks to our
default set. These tracks will be aimed at providing a fun racing experience with the Truck,
but will be great additions to any championship!
Menu Rework - Part 1
The menus have been reworked, both to improve their visuals, and also to improve their
underlying implementation. This will allow for further expansion in the future, and hopefully
fix a few of the UI formatting bugs that have been reported.

This is the first part of our rework of the menus, and not many new features will be added
with this patch. The second part of the rework will be aimed at incorporating keyboard and
controller support in the menus, as well as improving a few other things, too!
New Localisations
Along with the update, we'll be shipping the Russian language (thanks to Paul Kozlovitch
for contributing this localisation). In addition, localisations for Italian and Polish are
in progress, and hopefully we'll be able to ship those in the upcoming update, too.
We hope that this will allow more people to enjoy GeneRally 2. If you want to help us in
translating GeneRally 2 into your native language, please get in touch with us!
Other Fixes and Changes
We'll also be fixing a variety of bugs, and implementing some other small changes and
improvements - these will be included in the patch notes when the update goes live!
When is the August Update?
At the moment, all we can say is that the August update is coming
at some point in August.
We have quite a few changes that need thorough testing before they can be published, so
please stay tuned for a more specific release date!
