Codemasters and Electronic Arts release F1 2021 today. The new video game welcomes players into the world of Formula 1 racing. This includes the teams, drivers, and circuits for the 2021 FIA Formula One World Championship. Furthermore, it introduces a new story mode, expanded Career mode and three new circuits.
In the new story mode, Braking Point, players experience the glamorous world of F1 as they rise in the rankings from Formula 2 into a coveted Formula 1 spot, mirroring real-life team dynamics and dramatic run-ins with other drivers on the grid. The expanded Career Mode introduces a two-player option for friends to play online together or choose opposing teams and race against one another in synchronous race sessions. Career Mode also features Real-Season Start, which allows players to start their career at any race in the season that has already occurred, adopting the real-time drive and constructor standing from that point in time.
“The excitement around Formula 1® racing is truly palpable this season and launching F1 2021 on current and next-gen consoles gives us the opportunity to bring in players from around the world to live out their F1 dreams. We are excited for players to jump into the world for themselves as they climb the ranks and race against their friends or foes for a chance to win it all.”
