British publisher confirms fully licensed 2009 and 2010 titles for Wii, PSP, PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360
F1 World Champion Lewis Hamilton will make his video game debut this autumn, MCV can reveal.
Codemasters will launch F1 2009 for PSP and Wii this year, which will feature official tracks, cars, teams and drivers, including Fernando Alonso, Sebastian Vettel – and UK world champion Hamilton.
This will be followed by the high definition F1 2010, which will hit shelves in spring next year for PS3, PC and Xbox 360.
This title boasts an ‘authentic’ F1 experience, and makes use of Codemasters’ EGO Engine technology, which powered the BAFTA award-winning Race Driver: GRID.
“Formula One is the pinnacle of motorsport,” said Codemasters chief executive Rod Cousens. “We are producing a series of games that will deliver the passion, glamour and exhilaration that fans deserve and we know how to do that.
