F1 2022: Official Launch | The Management Game arrives this August
EA and Codemasters will release F1 2022 at the end of this month, but Frontier will offer F1 Manager 22 in August for people who are more interested in the technical and strategic aspects of Formula 1.
The new game, which will be the first fully licenced Formula 1 management game outside of mobile applications in more than two decades, will immerse players in the world of motorsports by allowing them to head a racing team at the top of the sport.
Launching this August
In F1 2022, you'll be able to choose your favourite team and lead them to victory in the game's Career Mode, where you'll set season-long and long-term goals for the board.
A Formula One Team Principal is responsible for a wide range of tasks. You'll have to oversee a highly technical staff of engineers, dance around the egos of high-strung drivers, and, if you believe Christian Horner and Toto Wolff, send regular caustic put-downs at your rival Netflix series opponent.
F1 2022, which will be available on August 25 for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, aims to fulfil the majority, if not all, of those responsibilities. While a management game will, by definition, lack the adrenaline rush of driving a car in a more typical F1 game, true fans of the sport recognise the importance of the technical and interpersonal aspects of the sport.
About the F1 2022 Gameplay
As team principal, your goal as a gamer will be to take control of one of the ten existing Formula One teams and guide them to victory across multiple seasons. You'll have to sweet-talk sponsors, hire real-world drivers and personnel, expand your facilities, change your strategy in the middle of the race, and select the direction of development all while maintaining within your budget. There were also those among us who wished our office had a champagne-filled jacuzzi.
Surprisingly, this game bears no resemblance to any other management game we've seen. Similarly to Tom Cruise's insistence on tossing himself out of an aircraft to take the perfect photo, developer Frontier has chosen to make this managerial game far more theatrical than the dressed-up collection of spreadsheets it could have been.
You'll be met with spectacular graphics and a broadcast-quality presentation once you've finished all of your tweakings and are ready to start a racing weekend. It's not necessary, but it's appreciated.
The success of F1 2022 Manager, modelled on the phenomenon that is Football Manager, will be measured not in the number of copies sold, but in the number of previously strong marriages that will be ruined. Based on everything we've observed so far, we've already hired a divorce lawyer.
