\"EA<\/a><\/p>\n

EA Sports and Codemasters have been churning out yearly Formula One games for a while now, and it looks like it’s time for a shake up.<\/p>\n

The publisher has announced<\/a> its plans for the next couple of years of the franchise, and in a nutshell, it’s skipping a new, standalone game in 2026, instead opting to overhaul the series for a big return in 2027.<\/p>\n

The 2026 season won’t go completely unrepresented, however, as a paid expansion for F1 25<\/a> will be released in lieu of a full new game.<\/p>\n

“Today, EA SPORTS confirms future plans for F1 25, with the game set to represent both the 2025 and 2026 FIA Formula One World Championships,” reads the update<\/a> on the official website. “This news drops alongside an announcement for the future of EA SPORTS F1 as 2027 will see the series return and mark the start of a new and more expansive F1 experience.”<\/p>\n

The expansion will bring the 2026 season’s “new cars, sporting regulations, teams, and drivers” to F1 25. It’s not known at this point how much the expansion pack will cost.<\/p>\n

“The decision to offer a premium content update for F1 25 is part of a strategic reset for the F1 Franchise,” reads the update. “In 2027, a new game will be released that looks, feels, and plays differently, delivering more gameplay choices.”<\/p>\n

The 2027 game “reimagines the F1 experience […] to deliver even more for players at every level around the world,” says Lee Mather, senior creative director at Codemasters.<\/p>\n

Though there have been changes over the years, the F1 games under Codemasters have been broadly the same for a long time, perhaps leading to this decision to spend an extra year revamping the experience.<\/p>\n

It’s an interesting update, and while some fans might be disappointed by the lack of new game next year, hopefully the 2027 title will make up for it.<\/p>\n
