Bsimracing Sim Racing Resources and News for the racing enthousiast.
Miami Florida-based Game developer, publisher, and eSports ecosystem provider Motorsport Games Inc. has been a hot news item lately. Sadly enough with mostly negative reports such as its financial struggles, Board of Directors Resigning, laying off a significant portion of its workforce, losing game licenses, and so on.
The company’s only highlight and road to success seems the steady improvements and popularity of the rFactor 2 platform, and the high expectations for the upcoming Le Mans Ultimate endurance racing game/simulator in development by Studio 397.
Le Mans Ultimate will feature (some or all) official cars and circuits of the 2023 FIA World Endurance Championship WEC season, with the 24 Hours of Le Mans as its headline event. The cars list will consist of Hypercars from Ferrari, Peugeot, Porsche, and Toyota, alongside all the cars of the 2023 full-season WEC championship. You can expect high-fidelity models of iconic tracks such as Spa-Francorchamps, Monza, Fuji, and of course the Circuit de la Sarthe.
Initially, Motorsport Games Inc. scheduled the upcoming Le Mans Ultimate game to become available on PC somewhere in December 2023 and further evaluating a possible console release in 2024. Now the company officially shared a release date, pushing back the release to 20 February 2024.
Press Release:
Le Mans, the ever-evolving endurance racing story fuelled by speed, emotion, and glory now has the chequered flag in sight, with the release date for the forthcoming Le Mans Ultimate title being confirmed. The eagerly anticipated official FIA World Endurance Championship and 24 Hours of Le Mans game produced and developed by Studio 397 will be released on the 20th of February 2024, on the eve of the new FIA WEC season which gets underway at Losail, Qatar just days later.
20th February is a significant milestone for Le Mans Ultimate, not only is it a date to signify the on-sale date and moment fans can get their hands on the exciting Hypercars, the 51st day of 2024 provides a gentle nod to the number #51 carried by the 2023 24 Hours of Le Mans winning Ferrari 499P driven by Alessandro Pier Guidi, James Calado, and Antonio Giovinazzi.
The Ferrari 499P and all the other Hypercars, LMP2, and GTE from the 2023 season will be available at the fingertips of players in early 2024.
