EA Sports has finally lifted the curtain on F1 24, announcing a May 31st, 2024 release date alongside pre-order bonuses and loyalty discounts for current players. An initial teaser trailer which can be viewed below, reveals the details, with a full gameplay showcase still to come this April.

As the latest entry in EA’s acclaimed Formula 1 game series, F1 24 is highly anticipated by racing fans. This first look whets the appetite for what’s to come.

Get Early 2024 Car Access in F1 23

While F1 24 won’t arrive until late May, eager fans can get a head start with new 2024 season F1 vehicles by pre-ordering. Players who pre-order before April 24th will unlock access to Time Trial challenges in F1 23 driving 2024 editions of cars like the Haas, Alpine, Williams, and McLaren.

This allows experiencing next season’s wheels months early, with select livery designs carrying over from F1 23 to F1 24 at launch. It’s a clever means of bridging the gap between titles while building hype.

Loyalty Discounts for Returning Players

Existing F1 game owners also benefit from a loyalty program granting a 15% discount off F1 24’s Champions Edition. Qualifying previous purchases include F1 21, 22, or the current 23 title.

Alongside the discount, players get F1 23 esports team liveries for McLaren and Alpine to enjoy now, while still receiving additional 2024 team designs when the latest entry arrives. It rewards franchise veterans for their dedication.

Two Editions Offer Varied Bonuses

F1 24 is available in Standard and Champions Editions. The latter nets significant extras like 18,000 PitCoins, Formula 1 icons, cosmetics, and three days of early access starting May 28th.

Even the Standard Edition throws in themed cosmetic packs and 5,000 PitCoins to redeem for customisation items. Pre-ordering guarantees that bonuses transfer to the full game.

Overhauled Career Mode and Physics Promised

While concrete details remain under wraps, EA Sports promises an overhauled career mode, enhanced physics through the EA SPORTS Dynamic Handling System, and much more when F1 24’s full reveal drops in April.

The brief glimpse indicates significant improvements across technical, visual, and content fronts. But fans eagerly await hands-on impressions to see just how pronounced the evolution will be.

For now, the release date announcement provides a clear target for when the most realistic and immersive Formula 1 sim yet will arrive on May 31st, 2024. Pre-order bonuses make the wait a little easier for revved up racing enthusiasts.
