Sooner than expected

Details about the next Gran Turismo title aren’t far away, Sony Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida has confirmed. Chatting with VG247, the affable executive explained: “Kazunori [Yamauchi] seems to have started talking about it, so I won’t be surprised to hear more about their plans, our plans, on future Gran Turismo rather soon.”

Yamauchi confirmed that a sequel to the simulation series is in development during a Gran Turismo 5 championship event over the weekend, but he stopped short of providing any specific details. “If I carelessly say when it will be released, you'll end up with people saying things like 'it's been delayed again!?' so I will no longer say,” he bitterly declared.

It’s unclear whether the next Gran Turismo will be for PlayStation 3 or its inevitable successor.
