Codemasters extends its partnership with Formula One World Championship for future titles

Codemasters has today announced that it will remain the home of official Formula One games with the confirmation that it has extended its partnership with Formula One World Championship Limited in a further multi-year agreement to develop and publish multiple titles for video game consoles, personal computers, mobile devices and online platforms.

Codemasters will begin by expanding the F1 Online The Game, a free-to-play online management and racing game, which will go live this spring. An additional and all-new Formula One title is also due this holiday season with details to be announced.

“We remain ambitious with our plans and want to take the series forward. We want to take it to new geographies, make it available on new platforms to new audiences. We are taking Formula One to a new online platform this spring and our portfolio will be extended with a Formula One experience that will address a younger video game audience later in 2012. Our teams are hard at it, creating world class Formula One games across multiple genres for players irrespective of location or gaming platform and now, for many years to come.” said Rod Cousens, CEO, Codemasters.
