CSR Racing 2 originally released on Android back in June of 2016. It's now over two years later, and the game is still running strong. But in order to keep fans happy over the years, new features have to roll out, and so Zynga has just announced a significant update to the game that adds sixteen new cars that span from the '60s to today. So if you have a hankering for collecting iconic vehicles, make sure to check out the new Legends update.
The changes brought by the CSR Racing 2 Legends update are pretty significant. Not only are there sixteen new cars to collect, restore, and customize, but there is a further goal that can only be achieved once the first fifteen cars are fully restored. If you can reach that point, then you will unlock the sixteenth car, the McLaren F1. You can also expect to find plenty of other new additions, which are detailed below.
-
Collect some of the most essential cars from the 1960s, 70s, 80s, 90s, and 2000s to ever grace the road.
-
Restore the classics in the brand-new Legends workshop and transform them to pristine condition.
-
Place fully restored virtual cars into real-world environments and get a 360-degree view with CSR2’s next generation augmented reality experience, AR Mode.
-
Compete against the modern day titans of racing in exhilarating multiplayer action.
-
Battle in Daily Legends Cups and rule the leaderboard with your masterful driving skills.
-
Use your roster of legendary cars to take down a brand new single player campaign.
-
Prove yourself worthy of owning the ultimate classic ride, the beloved McLaren F1, by restoring 15 legendary cars to the highest standards.
The launch of Legends is the most significant feature release for CSR Racing 2 to date. I would imagine such a notable update will help to retain existing players while also attracting new players to the game. Mobile drag racers may now be a dime a dozen on the Play Store, but there is no doubt that the CSR Racing series had a lot to do with that, which is why it's nice to see new content pushed out to the aging racer.
