New Arcade Racer ‘Formula Legends’ Announced

Formula Legends, developed by Italian studio 3DClouds and published by the same team, is an upcoming racing title set to release later this year on Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.

Blending arcade-style accessibility with the depth of true motorsport, Formula Legends features dynamic gameplay elements such as tyre wear, fuel consumption, track evolution, damage simulation, and changing weather. These systems create an engaging and unpredictable racing experience designed to challenge and entertain players at every turn.

With tracks inspired by iconic locations and cars that pay homage to open-wheel racing history, Formula Legends is crafted with both die-hard motorsport fans and newcomers in mind, aiming to capture the thrill of the sport while welcoming new players into the genre.

My Thoughts

As a fan of racing games, Formula Legends caught my attention immediately. It looks like a blast to play, and I love the graphics; reminiscent of what the Pixar movie Cars might look like if it were set in the world of Formula One. And Italy sure does love its Formula One, so I’m confident that the development studio, 3DClouds, built this game with genuine passion and care. Sign me up, please! The trailer is a joy to watch; definitely check it out!
