Frontier Developments has announced F1 Manager 24 and shared a trailer and some features which includes the ability to create your own team for the first time in the series. The game is scheduled to launch this summer on PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One for $34.99.
Fans can lead their own custom team to victory by creating and customizing their team, managing sponsorships and selecting talent to rise in the ranks or dominate from the start.
Essential to team success is the off-track management by Team Principals, who must balance designing car upgrades for immediate gains or investing in cutting-edge headquarters for a lasting legacy. F1 Manager 24 introduces a new mentality system for drivers and staff, showcasing their individual personalities and needs. Enhanced AI narrows the gap between players and competitors, while the risk of losing drivers and staff to rival teams keeps the paddock dynamic.
As the lights go out, fans will direct every thrilling moment from new strategic perspectives, immersing themselves in the action from on-board cameras or assessing their next decision from above. Issuing commands to their drivers via their voiced race engineers, players will weigh up crucial strategy calls and overtaking opportunities as they seek glory, with improved racing behaviours blurring the lines between simulation and reality. Success can slip away at any moment however, with the ever-present threat of a mechanical failure able to disrupt even the strongest of strategies, putting vital championship points at risk.
