Polyphony Digital, the company behind the much-anticipated "Gran Turismo 7" are reportedly hiring developing engineers before its release date.

The Venture Capital Post claims that the studio had recently posted an ad to fill up 13 positions which includes game development engineers, AI engineers and a graphics engineer.

Many are speculating that the addition of personnel is geared towards improving the features "Gran Turismo 7," specifically "more human-like AI that deeply detects ever changing conditions and tracks."

Fans are hoping that these developments would push "Gran Turismo 7" to an earlier release date.

Earlier in March, Breathecast reported that Polyphonic Digital CEO and creator of "Gran Turismo" Kazunori Yamauchi retracted his previous claim and said the much-awaited game won't release this year, revealing that they are still in the process of making the title.

However, he promises that the elusive seventh installment will feature major improvements.

"I doubt we'll be throwing away the standard cars," Yamauchi explained to Eurogamer in last year. "So I think we'll hang on to the archive."

"In the meanwhile, some of those cars we may be able to make into premium cars as they become available - but basically we're more focused on increasing the number of premium cars."

"I think the quality of the sounds in Gran Turismo 6 will be improved, but most of the work will be done in Gran Turismo 7," Yamauchi shared, adding "the high quality of data that we have being rendered on the PS4, I think is going to make an incredible difference."

Italian games website Spazio Games (translated by Gamespot) recently interviewed Yamauchi and asked him if the release date of "Gran Turismo 7" for the PS4 would arrive in 2017, to which he responded "People will not wait so much."
