Codemasters has announced that the F1 2020 video
game will release worldwide on Friday 10 July 2020 for PlayStation4,
Xbox One, Windows PC, and Google Stadia. In the season in which Lewis Hamilton
can equal the World Championship record of seven wins, Codemasters celebrates
the career of the current holder with a Michael Schumacher Deluxe Edition,
which comes with exclusive content and three days early access.
In a series of firsts for the Formula 1 franchise,
F1 2020 offers ‘My Team’. This major new game mode allows players to create
their F1 team and take their place alongside the established 2020 line-up, with
a new driver-manager experience offering a unique insight into the world of F1.
My Team and the well-established and critically
acclaimed Career mode will allow players more flexibility with the choice of
three season lengths. Players can choose from the original full 22 race season,
and shorter 10 and 16 race season options, which now includes Hanoi Circuit and
Circuit Zandvoort.
For social play with friends, two-player
split-screen makes its welcome return, alongside a host of new options designed
to help new players and adjust the F1 challenge to match their expertise. These
modes are in addition to the core F1 and F2 racing experiences, which remain as
challenging as ever for those who love the intensity of simulation racing.
Fans who purchase the F1 2020 Deluxe Schumacher
Edition will get to drive as the legendary German driver Michael Schumacher in
four of his most iconic cars. Players will also receive exclusive content
including themed car liveries and driver customisation items, including a
unique podium celebration.
The four cars included in the F1 2020 Deluxe Schumacher Edition are:
- 1991: Jordan 191
- 1994: Benetton B194
- 1995: Benetton B195
- 2000: Ferrari F1-2000
Additionally, to celebrate the Seventieth Anniversary of Formula 1 itself, fans who pre-order or purchase the Schumacher Deluxe Edition or the ‘F1 2020: F1 Seventy Edition’ will receive an exclusive set of in-game items. A Limited Edition F1 2020 Steelbook will also be available in local markets via selected retailers.
