The official Formula 1 game, ‘F1 22’ will be released on July 1st 2022, publishers EA Sports have announced.
The latest edition of the long-running officially licensed F1 game developed by Codemasters will be the first to be produced fully under the ownership of EA Sports, after EA purchased Codemasters last year.
The new F1 game will include a new customisable hub mode called ‘F1 Life’ allowing players to buy and earn supercars to drive in the game as well as clothing and accessories. The story mode ‘Braking Point’ will not return from F1 2021.
Series director Lee Mather said the car handling in F1 22 will be more authentic than previous editions.
“We look forward to welcoming our players to the new era of Formula 1,” said Mather.
“Alongside the real-world changes, we have updated the physics to accommodate the new aero rules and re-worked the tyre model, making the handling more true to life. With new and updated circuits, Adaptive AI, F1 Life, and expanded gameplay options, there has never been a better time for players to take their seats and live the life of an F1 driver.”
