Codemasters has announced Grid Legends for release in 2022.

Revealed during EA Play Live on Thursday, the game will introduce a new story mode to the series featuring “a classic underdog tale”.

The story centres on the Grid World Series, putting players “front and centre in a fly-on-the-wall documentary that captures every moment on and off the track”.

Grid Legends will also include new Boost and Elimination modes, plus fresh locations such as Moscow and London.

“Grid Legends is a high-stakes driving experience that combines thrilling motorsport action, incredible race variety and an immersive story that puts the player at the heart of the action,” according to the official blurb accompanying the game’s reveal trailer.

It will be available for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, Xbox One, PS4, and PC.

“Grid Legends combines everything our players love and adds more exhilarating race features, including our new epic story mode,” said Grid game director Chris Smith.

“We’re giving players more variety and choice, whether that’s creating their ultimate races using our race creator or bringing back the community-requested Drift mode. This is just the start of the journey, and we can’t wait to reveal more in the coming months.”
