ORIGINAL STORY: The biggest addition to this year’s Formula 1 game is the inclusion of classic cars and drivers – but not all of the content will be available in the standard edition of the game, it’s been revealed.
Instead, F1 2013 will be released in two editions: the standard edition and the ‘Classic Edition’.
According to our man on the ground at the game’s reveal event, F1 2013’s Standard Edition includes “all the updates from the 2013 season,” including “Hamilton’s switch to Mercedes, Perez’s move to Mclaren and all the updated rules and tyre changes,” but only “some of the Classic content”.
Instead, the Classic Edition will include all of the content and updates found in the standard edition, along with two extra content packs, including classic content from the 1990s and additional classic tracks.
All Classic Edition content will be available as DLC for the standard edition “following the game’s September release”.
Codemasters had not confirmed the price difference between the standard and Classic Editions at the time of writing, or whether all planned Classic content will be available to Classic Edition purchasers at the time of release.
F1 2013 launches on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC this September. For more info on the classic content – and other changes set to be included in this year’s edition – head through to our hands-on preview and in-depth interview.
