Fans beware, F1 Manager 2022 is official. A new officially licensed F1 Manager game is scheduled to come out in the summer of 2022. This summer, Formula One will release its first formally authorized video game in over two decades, F1 Manager 2022. After F1 Manager 2000 by EA Sports, the genre went into a break. The most recent game to come close to giving an F1 management experience is Motorsport Manager 2014, which does not have an official license.
F1 Manager 2022 will make its debut this summer
In 2020, Codemasters included the popular “My Team” mode in its official F1 game series. Players may manage and race for their own F1 team in “My Team,” choose their teammate, create their logo, sign sponsors, and select car development pathways. While this was a step toward a managerial game environment, a genuine F1 Manager game has been out of stock for many years.
Frontier Developments is the studio behind F1 Manager 2022. The game will be available on PS5, PS4 Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Steam, and Epic Store. The new F1 game will be the first sports title of Frontier Development which is famous for fan-favorites like Jurassic World Evolution 1 & 2, Planet Coaster and Planet Zoo.
Players will take on the role of Team Principal for one of the ten current F1 teams competing in the 2022 season, with each team having its own characteristics and challenges.
Frontier said to the fans that
“The first entry in this exciting series of games will invite players and F1 fans to own every aspect of leading a team to victory, upgrading cars and race facilities, hiring drivers and engineers, balancing budgets and driver demands, all before the race weekend kicks into gear. Once the race gets underway, stay calm under pressure and make critical decisions as you manage your team to victory.”
Ross Brawn, Managing Director of Motorsports also commented on the news:
“It’s great to see F1 Manager 2022 take shape and for people to see this exciting title come to life. I know from personal experience that leading a team can be challenging, but it’s certainly rewarding. The F1 Manager franchise is a great opportunity for fans to put themselves in the shoes of a team principal and experience some of that for themselves. I am confident that with their own successful track record in management gaming, Frontier will deliver an enjoyable and engaging experience for fans.”
Andy Fletcher, Game Director at Frontier said:
“There’s never been a better time to be a Formula 1 fan, and we’re excited to deliver a new way for F1 fans to immerse themselves in the biggest racing spectacle in the world. F1 Manager 2022 will deliver an experience for both new and long-term fans that is as authentic as it is exciting. Our commitment to the ever-changing world of Formula 1 will build a strong foundation for a long and special series that will evolve over time.”
