Yesterday, EA and Codemasters revealed the first F1 22 in-engine trailer featuring the brand new Miami International Autodrome track.
The development team also announced a partnership with Scuderia Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc, who will take center stage on the F1 22 cover (alongside McLaren’s Lando Norris and Mercedes’ George Russell) and become the latest EA Sports Ambassador.
Lee Mather, F1 Senior Creative Director at Codemasters, said:
F1 22 is celebrating the best young talent in F1, and we are excited to build a deeper relationship with Charles Leclerc. Established as part of the new era of Formula 1, we will work with Charles throughout the season to bring our players closer to the action. We’re also proud to celebrate our former World Champions with the F1 22 Champions Edition. They continue to inspire the next generation of drivers, and it’s an honour to have them together on the cover of our digital-only version.
F1 22 is launching on July 1st on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S|X, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC (with native VR support) via the EA App, Origin, Steam, and Epic Store. The Champions Edition provides three days of early access to the game.
