Codemasters F1 2019 Announcement Trailer

Codemasters has published an announcement trailer introducing the next entry in their Formula One game franchise. If all goes as planned, F1 2019 will arrive on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC on the 28th of June 2019 during the Austrian Grand Prix weekend.

Obviously, F1 2019 will feature all the 2019-spec F1 cars, but will also feature a 2019 regulation car which is specifically designed for the multiplayer mode. Codemasters are working directly with the F1 organization to come up with the specs and sporting regulations for use in multiplayer and eSports modes. The car was designed with the help of F1 engineers Ross Brawn and Pat Symonds and will feature a range of livery design options offering the players a new level of personalization.

Besides hinting at some new multiplayer features, there are no further gameplay details revealed, but Codemasters stated they will release more detailed info closer to launch.

 

 

We are very happy to announce that F1® 2019, the official videogame of the 2019 FIA FORMULA ONE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP™, is coming a full two months earlier into the F1® season and will launch worldwide on Friday 28th June 2019! To whet your appetite (just a little…) and celebrate today’s announcement we’ve released a trailer, which showcases some of the game’s brand new look and feel.

 

For those of you who might know the F1® calendar off by heart, this will, of course, mean that game will be released during the Austrian Grand Prix weekend and, unlike previous iterations, ahead of the British, German and Hungarian Grands Prix.

 

F1® 2019 has been in development here at Codemasters for nearly two years, making it the most ambitious release in the franchise history and launches on PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, the Xbox One family of devices including the Xbox One X and Windows PC (DVD and via Steam).

 

That’s not all though! Working in partnership with F1®, for the first time ever, you’ll be able to get behind the wheel of a 2019 regulation car specifically designed in collaboration with F1®’s technical team, headed up by Ross Brawn and Pat Symonds. The car, which will be available in Multiplayer, adheres to the 2019 regulations and comes with a range of livery designs offering you a new level of personalization. We’ll be looking at this in more detail in the near future

 

The 2019 F1® Team liveries will also feature on the car in early marketing materials but will be replaced by the final Team cars ahead of the game’s release. You can check these out at the bottom of the blog.

 

We know that you love the F1® racing franchise, and we want to build on the success of previous iterations and deliver to you an experience that rivals the quality and production values of the real-life sport and includes several new game features which will be revealed in the coming months

 

We are absolutely delighted to be able to release F1® 2019 earlier in the Formula 1® Season so that the game can be played and enjoyed at the same time that the real-world championship picture is starting to form,” said Paul Jeal, F1® Franchise Director at Codemasters. “Our close relationship with Formula 1® has played a major part in achieving this key objective for the franchise. That in addition to our near two-year development cycle, has allowed us to develop some exciting new features and other firsts for the franchise that we can’t wait to share with our community in the coming months.

 

The exciting collaboration with Ross Brawn and Pat Symonds has created new levels of player personalization in F1® 2019 through the inclusion of the new regulation car,” said Lee Mather, F1® 2019 Game Director at Codemasters. “With the continued growth of the F1® series, it’s great to give players more control and new levels of car and driver customization and we can’t wait to talk more about this alongside the new multiplayer features in the coming months.
