VideoGames - EA SPORTS F1 23: Get a glimpse of Breakpoint and F1 World, a new hub to redefine the player experience

By Mulder, 22 may 2023

Electronic Arts Inc. today unveiled a second video detailing EA SPORTS F1 23, the official game of the FIA Formula One World Championship, scheduled for release June 16 on PlayStation5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation®4, Xbox One, and PC via EA App, Epic Games Store and Steam. The video, reviewed by Sky Sports F1 presenter Natalie Pinkham, looks at the various improvements to the game's modes, including F1® World, Breakpoint 2, enhanced multiplayer, as well as the return of Career Mode and My Team.

 After its launch in F1 2021, the Breakpoint story mode returns this year for a bold new chapter. It follows the careers of Aiden Jackson and protagonist Devon Butler, now teammates in the Konnersport Racing Team, a new structure that hopes to take on the real-world F1® teams and drivers. In addition to many new rivalries, twists and racing challenges, the story features a host of new characters. One of these is the newly crowned Formula 2™ champion and Devon Butler's sister, Callie Mayer, who dreams of racing on the world's biggest track, Formula 1®. To bring her story to life, the writing team partnered with Jamie Chadwick, three-time W Series World Champion and Williams Racing team driver, who provided a valuable driver's testimonial.

The other key element explored is F1® World, a new way to enjoy the game that acts as a central hub for multiple game modes. It features single and multiplayer experiences, a shared progression system, daily, weekly and seasonal content, a revised license level system and many different ways to play. F1® World will introduce new players to the complex world of Formula 1® and help them get a feel for the game before they race for the World Championship. Experienced players will rediscover their favorite elements of the game, including time trial, Grand Prix and multiplayer. As players progress through F1® World, participating in events and challenges that evolve over time and align with the season, they will increase their technology level and earn upgrades that can be installed on their F1® World car. This will allow them to improve the performance of their car and access even more difficult events to master.
