Codemasters has announced it will be releasing the official videogame of the 2020 FIA Formula One, F1 2020, on 10th July on Xbox One, Playstation 4, PC and Google Stadia. As well as a number of firsts for the franchise, F1 2020 will also feature a Michael Schumacher Deluxe Edition which comes with exclusive content and three days early access. A new trailer can be seen below celebrating the announcement….
F1 2020 features a number of game modes with a new My Team mode allowing players to create their very own F1 team and take a place alongside the established 2020 line-up. This mode will offer players a new driver-manager experience providing a unique insight into the sport. Both this and the critically acclaimed Career mode will allow players more flexibility over their game with the choice of three season lengths with 22, 16 or 10 races. Players can join in the thrill of the race with friends thanks to the return of the popular two player split-screen.
The Deluxe Schumacher Edition will get to drive as the legendary Michael Schumacher in four of his most iconic cars with themed liveries and customisation options. These cars include, 1991: Jordan 191, 1994: Benetton B194, 1995: Benetton B195 and 2000: Ferrari F1-2000.
“F1 2020 promises to be our biggest and most innovative title to date,” said Paul Jeal, F1 Franchise Director at Codemasters. “Our core players will welcome even greater gameplay depth with the introduction of our brand-new My Team feature, alongside three customisable season lengths which allows them to pick their favourite tracks. In the year where Lewis Hamilton is going for his seventh World Championship, we celebrate the greatest F1 driver of all time with our Michael Schumacher Deluxe Edition, which we know will prove popular with our community.”
“As huge fans of F1, we continue to innovate and develop game modes that bring players even closer to the real-world sport,” said Lee Mather, F1 Game Director at Codemasters. “We’ve also added new modes to enable more casual players to get up to speed more easily, and we’ve brought back split-screen for social play with friends. The additions reduce both the difficulty and time barrier to entry while retaining the car handling that our simulation players love.”
Look out for F1 2020 arriving this July.
