Featuring F1® 2018 – The Official Gameplay Trailer

Hot off the press, the first full gameplay video for F1® 2018, the official videogame of the 2018 FIA Formula One World Championship™, is now here! Revealing the incredible depth and feature set of F1® 2018, today’s trailer shows off the most in-depth career mode ever seen in the franchise, 20 classic cars from the history of the sport, and new stunning visuals. You can check out the official gameplay trailer below, or on our YouTube channel here:

Launching onto PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, the Xbox One family of devices including the Xbox One X and Windows PC (DVD and via Steam) worldwide on Friday 24th August 2018, F1® 2018 lets you live the life of an F1® driver like never before.

In anticipation of F1® 2018’s release, which is less than a month away (we can’t wait), we asked Game Director Lee Mather for the inside scoop:  “This is the most complete F1® experience that Codemasters has ever created.

“The Career mode is the central point of the game and has been greatly expanded with the inclusion of pressurised press interviews that will directly affect your path through the sport. There is also far more flexibility for the player, including the ability to select your own rival and negotiate team moves during the season. The Career mode also expands the player’s research and development options, with each F1® team now having its own unique technology tree with differing strengths and weaknesses. What’s more, F1® 2018’s Career will also feature significant rule changes between seasons during the Career for the first time.

“The game’s handling has also been reworked using real world F1® data to give us new suspension and chassis physics, as well as the introduction of manually deployed ERS. This all means that the cars feel great to drive and you can really feel the difference between the modern cars and the 20 classics there are in the game. There is a huge contrast between the low aero, low grip cars from the 1970s compared to the 2018 cars.”

When playing online, the game’s new Super License system is designed to minimise the effects of poor driving in multiplayer races. You’ll be rated on your skill levels and driver etiquette and then matched with other gamers of a similar ability and driving style.

F1® 2018 has also undergone a significant graphical uplift with the inclusion of new visual elements, including environmental mist, heat haze, track mirage effects, new engine heat haze and off racing line dirt kick-up which brings it even closer to the real sport.
