Frontier Developments’ newest officially licensed Formula 1 management game, F1 Manager 2024, is gearing up for a digital launch this summer across PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series consoles, and Xbox One.
In this latest installment, players will have the opportunity to step into the role of team principal for their preferred F1 squad, striving to guide them to championship success. With the 2024 season as their backdrop, players can craft their own sporting narrative and shape the destiny of their team for seasons to come.
In the upcoming third installment of the F1 Manager series, players can anticipate an exhilarating addition: the debut of ‘Create A Team’ mode. For the first time ever, players will have the opportunity to build their own team from scratch, adding a new layer of excitement to the game. Additionally, the beloved ‘Race Replay’ mode makes its return, allowing fans to revisit and reshape real race outcomes through various scenarios released throughout the year.
Fans of the franchise can look forward to more than just leading one of the 10 official Formula 1 teams in the beloved ‘Career’ mode. For the very first time in the history of the franchise, players will have the freedom to create and manage their own custom team, charting their path to victory and establishing a legacy alongside the sport’s legendary figures. As they navigate their journey to the pinnacle of the podium, players will have the opportunity to leave their mark on the sport’s rich history.
Allowing players to customize various aspects of their team, F1 Manager 2024 offers a platform for creative expression, enabling them to bring their dream designs to fruition. Alongside this, players will have the opportunity to negotiate sponsorship deals, ensuring a steady flow of income to support their ambitions. Whether it’s identifying promising talent to climb up the grid or selecting established stars for instant success, players have the freedom to shape their team before unveiling their championship contender.
A key factor in their team’s long-term success lies in how players manage off-track development. They can opt to invest in designing new car upgrades and fostering innovation for immediate performance gains or focus on building an advanced headquarters to establish a lasting legacy and attract the attention of rivals.
F1 Manager 2024 brings forth a fresh approach with its new mentality system designed for drivers and staff. This system highlights individual personalities and demands, presenting players with the challenge of keeping their team motivated while striving for glory and aiming for the sport’s top honors.
Rival teams pose a continuous threat year after year, as enhanced AI narrows the gap between players and their competitors, both on and off the track. Additionally, the looming possibility of drivers and staff being poached ensures that the paddock remains dynamic, with a shake-up always on the horizon.
As the race begins, fans will find themselves in the heart of the action, experiencing every exhilarating moment from fresh strategic angles. They can immerse themselves by switching between on-board cameras or taking a bird’s-eye view to assess their next move. Guiding their drivers through voiced race engineers, players will navigate critical strategy decisions and overtaking opportunities in their quest for victory. With enhanced racing behaviors blurring the boundaries between simulation and reality, every move counts.
However, success is never guaranteed, as the looming possibility of mechanical failures threatens even the most robust strategies, putting crucial championship points at stake.
