For decades, motorsport enthusiasts have dreamt of a game that captures the spectacle, history, and thrill of open-wheel racing without sacrificing fun.
Formula Legends, the new sim-cade racer from Italian studio 3D Clouds, aims to deliver exactly that. It reimagines 60 years of racing history in a colorful, approachable package that combines arcade energy with simulation-inspired depth.
So, continue with our guide as we explore more about the Formula Legends launch and what's new.
Lights Out, Let’s Go Racing
Formula Legends, priced at £19.99/$19.99/€19.99, enables players to experience the most iconic tracks and vehicles in motorsport history, faithfully recreated.
The tracks were tweaked to provide players with fast-paced, wheel-to-wheel racing action, offering a unique way to experience racing on the world's most famous circuits. Formula Legends delivers an arcade-like flavour, being easy to pick up but challenging to master.
A Playful Reimagining of Racing History
The game combines colorful visuals and reinvented versions of both historic and modern-day vehicles, being faithful to the rich history of motorsport, but also adding a unique flavor to it.
Players will encounter elements commonly seen in hardcore simulations, such as tire wear, fuel consumption, changing tracks, damage simulation, and dynamic weather, but they will be presented in a more approachable manner. This makes the game more realistic and immersive, but doesn't overwhelm new players to the genre.
Easy to Pick Up, Hard to Master
Formula Legends difficulty settings, customizable race durations, and comprehensive driving aids allow players to adapt the game to their driving skills. This way, veteran players can opt for a more challenging experience, while new or casual drivers can select a difficulty that allows them to enjoy the game while simultaneously honing their skills.
Whether you are a seasoned sim racer, a new player to the genre, or someone who just enjoys driving without the associated stresses, Formula Legends can deliver the exact experience you are looking for.
Strong Early Following
Before its official release, Formula Legends racked up over 200,000 demo downloads and 100,000 wishlists across Steam, Epic Games Store, Xbox Store, and Nintendo eShop, a very impressive number that clearly showcases how highly anticipated the game was worldwide.
Mod-Friendly Design
Because the PC version of Formula Legends is completely mod-compatible, gamers could alter everything from entire vehicle models to livery emblems. The CEO of 3DClouds, Francesco Bruschi, stated, "We can't wait to see what they create."
This makes Formula Legends a paradise for racing game modders, which will, without a doubt, take the game to a whole new level with their carefully crafted and create mods. The possibilities are endless, and there are certainly some modders already hard at work.
Roadmap and Future Updates
A post-launch roadmap further confirms three new DLCs, a brand-new historical era, and ongoing improvements and additions to the core game in response to player feedback. This shows 3DClouds is committed to supporting the game, which is always a good sign for players, especially in an era where many studios and publishers do exactly the opposite.
