The release of F1 24 from EA and Codemasters is rapidly approaching and a teaser of the latest Formula 1-focused game has been released with more information on what fans can expect from the revamped Career mode.
Game developer Codemasters says its latest Career mode will give fans a more immersive experience, with the trailer showcasing “game-changing” upgrades resulting from its new Dynamic Handling model.
Codemasters worked closely with three-time world champion Max Verstappen, who provided development support to help make the cars feel more realistic. Each player's personal driving style will be impacted by a new handling model, resulting in new strategic racing opportunities.
Here is everything you need to know about the F1 24 Career mode, ahead of the game’s launch on 31 May.
F1 24’s Career mode has been revamped to bring players a more true-to-life experience of being a grand prix driver. As normal, players will be able to choose their own custom character, but for the first time in the franchise's history can now choose to step into the shoes of a current driver.
The game will allow its players to pick from one of the 20 drivers on the F1 grid, or take the place of the up-and-coming Formula 2 drivers as either a current F2 driver or their own player. There will also be the option to compete as one of F1’s legendary drivers – including Ayrton Senna and Michael Schumacher.
A player's performance in F2 will affect their power when it comes to negotiating a move up into F1, impacting their position in the driver market.
Driver ratings will also return to F1 24, with each driver having a pre-set starting set of ratings. This will then be impacted by the player’s ability and progress within Career mode, with the main goal of improving their ratings.
F1 24’s Career mode is now driven by the Driver Recognition system, which gives a more lifelike feel to the gameplay. Every decision on and off track will impact recognition, which will help build reputation in the paddock.
