Codeamasters has announced that GRID Autosport — the next game in the popular GRID racing series — will be released June 24th in the US and June 27th in Europe.
The game’s development was based largely on community feedback and consultation with Autosport magazine, and promises to deliver a focused and realistic racing experience. The game boasts over one hundred tracks set in twenty-two diverse locations, and sports a variety of game modes tailored to different play styles.
Races promise to have a layer of depth to them and will provide a varied challenge that’s responsive to each player’s race style, according to chief game designer Jeff Nicholls. “This isn’t a game where basically every race is the same and the cars and tracks change. You need to adjust your tactics and learn different techniques to succeed in each racing discipline and each car has its own character too. Our AI will act and react in different ways depending not just on how you race, but the style of racing you are competing in and that’s vital in authentically capturing the feel of say, Touring Cars compared to Open-Wheel Racing.”
GRID Autosport will be available on Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and Windows PC. One item of interest for PC gamers is that Autosport offers 4K textures and output support, and runs at 1080p, 60 frames per second.
Fans of the game can stay up to date with the latest news at the game’s website.
