Asphalt Legends Unite will bring huge changes to the popular, Asphalt 9: Legends, but is it a new game? That's a question a lot of Asphalt fans are asking.
Asphalt Legends Unite brings new cars and features to Asphalt 9: Legends, but how far does this go? We've got everything you need to know right here!
Is Asphalt Legends Unite a New Game?
Asphalt 9: Legends has been out since 2018 and in those six years, the arcade racing game has expanded from a mobile exclusive to becoming available on PC and console.
It's fair to say that Asphalt 9: Legends in 2024 is a very different product from six-year-old original.
Asphalt Legends Unite is being billed as an expansion for Asphalt 9: Legends. This means Asphalt Legends Unite is not a new game.
While it's not a new game, Asphalt Legends Unite will bring a new UI, new cars, a new Singapore setting, new tracks, new game modes, new co-op mode, as well as upgraded graphics supported by a new game engine. It also marks the first time Asphalt 9: Legends will be playable on PS5.
What constitutes a new game?
The entire game is getting a revamp with Legends Unite as this is the next major content addition to the Asphalt series. Instead of making Asphalt 10, Gameloft has done the next best thing, adding a large DLC to Asphalt 9.
There's even a physical edition available for the first time ever on PS4, PS5 and Nintendo Switch. The Supercharged Edition of Asphalt Legends Unite comes with exclusive content and bonuses.
With a revamped game engine, new UI, and new game modes, Asphalt Legends Unite will feel like a brand-new game for returning players.
If you already have Asphalt 9: Legends installed the Legends Unite expansion can be added to your game. The title is also free to play via digital download, so it's worth a try if you've never played before!
The same could be argued with other titles that have received significant updates since their original launch, such as Cyberpunk 2077.
You could even argue games like Forza Horizon 5 are different games now from their original launch thanks to huge updates.
