In a turn of events for racing game enthusiasts, Gameloft has announced a significant upgrade to the beloved Asphalt 9: Legends. The game is set to evolve into ‘Asphalt Legends Unite’, marking a full-scale upgrade that promises to redefine the mobile racing experience.
Asphalt Legends Unite is not just an update; it’s a complete overhaul of the current game. Slated for release in July 2024, this new title will replace Asphalt 9: Legends, incorporating a host of new features and improvements that fans have long been clamouring for.
