The most awaited F1 game is only a few hours away from getting unveiled. EA is about to release the trailer, or as many call it, the first look of the latest installment to their famous Formula One video game series.

The first Formula 1 game came out back in 2000 and since then it has gone through a lot of upgrades and changes. The most noticeable one was the change in the publishing company. EA released the first six games of the series before Codemasters acquired the license for the Formula 1 video games.

Codemasters released 13 Formula One games before EA bought the video game company. So, Formula 1 series came back to Electronics Art and F1 2021 became the first game to release under EA Sports after the F1 Career Challenge, which was released in 2003.

Now, EA Sports is going to release their second F1 game since acquiring Codemasters. But the biggest surprise is that the game is going to have a different name. Benjamin, also known as the Tiametmarduk, who is one of the biggest Formula One Esports players, gave the news through a tweet.
