Codemasters announce F1 2019 game release date and custom liveries feature
A trailer for the game.... no gameplay just release dates and stuff.
Codemasters has announced the official Formula 1 game for the 2019 season will be released in June 2019.
The game will release on the PS4, Xbox One and PC systems across the Austrian Grand Prix weekend on June 28. The recent release slot has been often been ahead of the Belgian Grand Prix after the summer break.
Codemasters has also confirmed, for the first time, that custom liveries will be available for players.
The Birmingham-based developer has also confirmed the game has been in development for over two years and will release details on new features in the near future.
“We are absolutely delighted to be able to release F1® 2019 earlier in the Formula 1® Season, so that the game can be played and enjoyed at the same time that the real-world championship picture is starting to form,” said Paul Jeal, F1® Franchise Director at Codemasters.
“Our close relationship with Formula 1® has played a major part in achieving this key objective for the franchise. That in addition to our near two-year development cycle, has allowed us to develop some exciting new features and other firsts for the franchise that we can’t wait to share with our community in the coming months.”
“The exciting collaboration with Ross Brawn and Pat Symonds has created new levels of player personalisation in F1® 2019 through the inclusion of the new regulation car,” said Lee Mather, F1® 2019 Game Director at Codemasters.
“With the continued growth of the F1® series, it’s great to give players more control and new levels of car and driver customisation and we can’t wait to talk more about this alongside the new multiplayer features in the coming months.”

This is turning into a nice cash grab ala the FIFA series of games. This kind of turnaround time between F1 2018 and F1 2019 just shows how little they do to justify a full-price new game.
I wouldn't know that as I always bought these when they were on sale, hehe. Picked up 2018 just a few weeks ago on Steam — it was discounted 70% or something ridiculous like that — just so I'd have Paul Ricard and some more of the historic cars.
