Codemasters released more information about the new F1 2020 video game on Wednesday afternoon. In addition to a number of new features, the developer also revealed the release date of the new game.

The latest edition of the game also includes the brand new 'my team' mode. This game mode allows players to create their own Formula 1 team and compete against the ten existing teams on the grid. Besides that, Circuit Zandvoort and the Hanoi Circuit are ofcourse also included in the game.

Codemasters seems to respond to the current developments in Formula 1, because with the new game you can drive a short season with 10 or 16 races in addition to 22 races. Also, the split-screen function returns and exclusive cars of Michael Schumacher are available.

“F1® 2020 promises to be our biggest and most innovative title to date,” said Paul Jeal, F1® Franchise Director at Codemasters. “Our core players will welcome even greater gameplay depth with the introduction of our brand-new My Team feature, alongside three customisable season lengths which allows them to pick their favour tracks. In the year where Lewis Hamilton is going for his seventh World Championship, we celebrate the greatest F1® driver of all time with our Michael Schumacher Deluxe Edition, which we know will prove popular with our community.”

“As huge fans of F1®, we continue to innovate and develop game modes that bring players even closer to the real-world sport,” said Lee Mather, F1® 2019 Game Director at Codemasters. “We’ve also added new modes to enable more casual players to get up to speed more easily, and we’ve brought back split-screen for social play with friends. The additions reduce both the difficulty and time barrier to entry while retaining the car handling that our simulation players love.”

The new F1 2020 game will be released worldwide on Friday, July 10, 2020 for Playstation 4, Xbox One, Windows PC and for the first time via Google Stages.
