Just as the Oscars and the AFL Grand Final happen each year, we have gotten confirmation from Codemasters that F1 2018 is coming and will hit Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC on August 24, just in time for the Belgian Grand Prix.

“We were delighted by the reception that the highly-acclaimed F1 2017 game received, and are extremely excited to be able to further build on such a strong starting point with F1 2018” said Paul Jeal, F1 Franchise Director at Codemasters. “Over the past few years we have engaged heavily with our fan-base to understand what is important to them, and we cannot wait to unveil more details on features we know our fans will love. Career mode has been further expanded to immerse players even deeper into the world of F1 than before, with the return of a highly requested feature back into the franchise. We are also adding more classic cars, again listening to our fans as to which of the historical F1 cars they would most like to virtually drive next. Outside of those headline additions there are many other great enhancements to be revealed before the game launches.”

We have no other details on the game so far, except that Xbox One X is supported, so look forward to 4K racing at least. With E3 only weeks away, we should see more then.
