Grid Legends, the unexpected sequel and new entry to Codemasters’ Grid series, gets a new trailer, highlighting its main new feature and a brand new car manufacturer’s video game debut.
Grid Legends will feature a story mode, Driven To Glory. This should sound familiar to players of Codies’ F1 2021, as well as the old Toca Race Driver game (which later evolved to become Grid). But unlike those games, Grid Legends will feature a star-studded cast of Hollywood actors in the story mode and is shot live-action.
The EA influence (since they own Codemasters now) is either a coincidence or on purpose, as this style of presentation was seen multiple times across the Need For Speed series.
Anyway, here you see the driver for Voltz Racing, Valentin Manzi, as portrayed by actor Ncuti Gatwa, wax poetic about the relationship between man and machine.
The machine he is in is an interesting one, however. It’s the Tushek TS 900 Racer Pro, a 1332bhp hypercar (dubbed the lightest hypercar ever) with a top speed of a whopping 380kmh, and with only 12 being made in real-life. Quite the car for the Slovenian marque to make its video game debut.
Grid Legends will be out on February 25 for the PS4, PS5, PC (Steam, Origin), Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S.
