‘F1 2021’ is set to be released in July.
F1 video game series
The upcoming racing video game – which is the latest in the franchise of official Formula 1 racing games developed by Codemasters – has been given a release date of July 16, developers announced on Thursday (16.04.21).
‘F1 2021’ will feature three new circuits, a new story mode, and several additional features.
The new tracks - Portimão, Imola, and the all-new Jeddah Street Circuit - will be added as free post-launch content, according to a news release from Codemasters and EA.
The game’s story mode will be titled ‘Braking Point’ and developers have said it “immerses players into the glamorous world of F1,” with off-track lifestyle elements and role-playing supporting the racing action.
Additionally, the fictitious heel Devon Butler — a rival character from the first story mode in ‘F1 2019’ — will return to antagonize the player.
What’s more, the career mode now supports two-player
What’s more, the career mode now supports two-player cooperative play as well as competitive online play, meaning friends can now drive for the same team in a career mode, or battle it out against one another.
The career mode will also allow players to start a campaign from any point in the real-world season with up-to-date driver and constructor standings.
Codemasters have also confirmed the MyTeam team management and career mode introduced in ‘F1 2020’ will return.
‘F1 2021’ will be released on July 16 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
