Codemasters, makers of the yearly Formula One video games, have announced the release date for the F1 2018 game.

The popular game will be released to the public on August 24th on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC, the makers of the game announced.

"We are delighted with the recognition that the multi-award winning F1 2017 game has received and are extremely excited that F1 2018 can build on such a strong starting base," Paul Jeal said, franchise director at Codemasters.

All the drivers, teams and circuits will be in the game, as well as some classic cars, of which there are added more.

"We've added more historic vehicles and listened to our fans, in terms of which of the historic F1 cars they would like to drive virtually," Jeal said.

What historic cars will be added to this years' game, isn't clear yet.

Besides quick racing and online racing, there will also be a 'career mode' again, which lets the player drive full seasons and develop their F1-careers from scratch. Jeal revealed that there are new features added to this game mode this year.

"The career mode has been further expanded to immerse players even deeper into the world of F1 than before, with the return of a highly requested feature back to the franchise," he said, without explaining what that feature is.

"Apart from these extras, there are many other great enhancements that will be announced before the game starts," he concluded.
