Ultimate Driving: Kent Island (also known as just Kent Island) was an upcoming game in the Ultimate Driving Universe, created by index15.
Overview[]
As its name implies, UD: Kent Island was based off a set of islands in Maryland. The game was first announced in December 2018 and was under-development for three months until February 2019. After a year, the game's development started to pick-up again in March 2020, but was paused again in July 2020. This game used to cost 60 robux, but it is currently free to play. Development on this game was discontinued after Index15 left the Ultimate Driving team.
The game takes place in Maryland, south of UD: Bethany Beach. It was unusual for Index15 to build a game in Maryland, since he mainly created games in North Carolina. This game includes US 1, which is a freeway through the island along with the famous Chesapeake Bay Bridge (based on US 50 in real life). Along the main highway is it's first introduced semi-functional weigh station.
