Codemasters’ newest title F1 2018 will be launching in a few weeks. As we approach release, the team is showing off more and more of the game. A brand new gameplay trailer has recently been released which shows real life F1 driver Nico Hülkenberg going for a hot lap around the Hockenheimring track in F1 2018. Check it out:
While the ‘Work in Progress’ banner is visible during the gameplay sections of the trailer, it does look like the game is shaping up well even in this pre-release state. Codemasters has quite the pedigree, so there’s a pretty good chance the game will turn out to be a hit when it launches on PC, PS4 and Xbox One on August 24, 2018.
