The update is planned to release at the end of March, and we’ll announce this exact date next month.
As for the maintenance, it will be mentioned in the Patch Notes, which will arrive a day or two before the release of the update, but expect the usual server maintenance at 9:30am CET and lasting up to 8:00pm CET. As usual, we will keep you updated on our progress during the day too.

Hong Kong Island Rework (Northern Districts)
At the launch of Season 5, we reworked the southern areas of Hong Kong Island. We aren’t done yet though, as we have worked on the northern areas of the island for the launch of Season 6. With that, we also went back in and reworked some of the southern areas in more detail with new billboards, traffic lights, and intersections!
To be more specific on the Northern side, we’ve reworked a lot of the buildings to offer more variety between the districts. To discuss this in much more detail, here’s art director Stephane Cambier to give us more details!
“We are continuing our sustained efforts to improve Hong Kong Island’s northern districts, focusing our efforts on several subjects:
Such as fixing the height and density of the building, adding more green spaces, which is one of HKI’s trademarks, and creating more diversity in the building shapes and colors.
Huy Nguyen-Tan (our main procedural building artist) is therefore at work to improve all this, and I hope you will appreciate the colossal work he has accomplished so far in this regard.”
Stéphane (TDUSC Art Director)
Similar to what we did for Season 5, you can find a full video of before and after locations all throughout Hong Kong Island’s northern districts coming soon on the Nacon Racing YouTube channel! For now, here's more screenshots!
Oh, and there are some new signs to be found!

Side Skirts, Diffusers, Front Splitters & More
We’ve started making further improvements to vehicle customisation in TDUSC. We heard a lot of player feedback on vehicle customisation in the game, and we’ve worked to further expand this. In Season 6, you will see the first arrival of this feature, beginning with the official Audi Sport Performance Parts customisation for the Audi R8 RWS
