Watch the F1® 24 Reveal Trailer Here
Today Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: EA) unveiled the full
feature set for F1® 24, an official game of the FIA Formula One
World Championship™, launching earlier than previous seasons on May
31 across PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation®4, Xbox One,
and PC, via EA App, Epic Games Store, and Steam. Players will feel
closer to the action with precision control, courtesy of the new EA
SPORTS Dynamic Handling. For the first time, fan-favourite Career
mode allows players to compete as one of the 20 drivers from the
2024 F1® season and define their legacy, with even more ways to
connect across Formula 1® and F2™. Watch the F1® 24 Reveal Trailer
Here.
Working closely with current World Champion and Champions
Edition cover star Max Verstappen, the new EA SPORTS Dynamic
Handling redefines the feel of the car to produce a realistic and
predictable performance across wheel and pad. All-new suspension
kinematics, upgraded tyre model, advanced aerodynamic simulation,
and new engine and car setup options enhance the driving
experience. Cornering, rolling resistance, brake pressure, ambient
track temperature, and variable conditions enable drivers to
receive immediate feedback to maximise their on-track
performance.
Enhancements on and around the circuits add to the race week
experience, including Silverstone which has received a significant
update to deliver authentic circuit accuracy. Updates to Circuit de
Spa-Francorchamps, Lusail International Circuit, and Jeddah
Corniche Circuit ensure that in-game tracks match their real-world
counterparts. Actual driver audio samples taken from F1® broadcasts
add a new dimension as they react to on-track incidents. A new
broadcast presentation package and cutscenes add to the race day
immersion.
“The new handling model, powered by EA SPORTS Dynamic Handling
will enable players to get maximum performance from their car, with
authentic physics giving them the confidence in racing wheel to
wheel with their rivals,” said Lee Mather, Senior Creative Director
at Codemasters. “Our biggest Career innovation since 2016 delivers
more of what our players want with greater variety away from the
track. Alongside new handling and Career innovations, updated
circuits, new audio, and a refreshed broadcast presentation give
players the feeling of being closer to the grid.”
As part of the revamped Career mode, players can also choose
from an up-and-coming competitor from F2™, a legendary icon, or
create their own legacy. Further innovations to fully immerse
drivers into the exhilarating world of Formula 1® include:
- Gain Recognition: Build reputation within the Paddock
through on-track objectives. Race-day tasks keep players focused on
the chequered flag. Completing Contract Targets can help secure a
new deal or pave the way for secret meetings to negotiate a move to
a bitter rival.
- R&D Upgrades: Driver reputation also affects the
support players get from their team. The greater the rep, the more
motivated the team. Players can go all-in on one innovation or
spread the resources for more balanced development.
- Earn Accolades: In addition to short-term achievements,
every driver has longer-term goals based on season expectations.
These could range from number of Top 10 finishes, Pole Positions to
claiming the World Championship.
- Race with a Friend: Join forces or race as rivals in
two-player Career. With individual driver objectives, players must
stay focused to become the team’s number one driver.
- Challenge Career: A perfect introduction before
committing to a 24-race season. Jump into the shoes of a
pre-selected F1® driver and compete in a series of mini seasons.
Community voting will influence the conditions and circuits for
future events.
Returning for a second season is F1® World, the home of
Multiplayer, Grand Prix™, Time Trial and the new Fanzone feature.
Players align with their favourite team and driver over the course
of a Podium Pass season and join a game-wide, time-limited league
that includes collaborative goals whilst competing against rival
teams. Separately, My Team returns with the inclusion of two new
icons, legendary former World Champion James Hunt and Colombia’s
most successful F1® driver Juan Pablo Montoya, which are exclusive
to Champion Edition players.
