Codemasters has confirmed that F1 2010 will be released on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC in September.
The company released their first F1 game last year for Wii and PSP after picking up the rights from Sony, but this will be the first full on, multiplatform, high definition F1 game.
The game will be based around the upcoming 2010 season which starts this weekend, and will include the new South Korean GP, all the team changes over the last year and will also feature Micheal Schumacher, who returns to F1 this season.
Full PR stuff below.
Wednesday 10th March/... A new generation of FORMULA ONE games will come to high definition consoles and PC later this year as Codemasters® today announced that F1 2010 will be released this September for Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft®, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and PC Games For Windows®.
As the official game of the 2010 FIA FORMULA ONE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP™, F1 2010 will include all of the official teams, drivers and circuits from the coming season. F1 2010 will feature the return of seven times FORMULA 1 Drivers’ World Champion Michael Schumacher, the introduction of several new teams, and the brand new Korean International Circuit that will host the 2010 FORMULA 1 KOREAN GRAND PRIX.
The September launch will see F1 2010 become the first official FORMULA ONE game to appear for Xbox 360 and marks the return of FORMULA ONE to PC after an eight year absence. The arrival of the HD editions of FORMULA ONE follows Codemasters’ extremely successful launch of F1 2009 for Wii and PSP, which became a top five best seller throughout the past holiday period.
In F1 2010 gamers will take on the full, expanded grid in a variety of game modes including GRAND PRIX, Championship, Time Trial and an extensive, innovative Career mode. F1 2010 will also feature a highly advanced damage model, fully dynamic weather system and extensive competitive multiplayer options.
In production at Codemasters Studios Birmingham, F1 2010 is being developed using the EGO Game Technology Platform, Codemasters’ proprietary tech that powered the critically acclaimed, million-plus selling Colin McRae: DiRT 2 and Race Driver: GRID. The award-winning technology has been further developed to accurately recreate the unique aerodynamics and handling of 200MPH+ FORMULA ONE cars. The tech combined with Codemasters’ unprecedented access to FORMULA ONE teams and drivers will ensure that F1 2010 delivers the most authentic FORMULA ONE racing experience yet. F1 2010 will be released September 2010 for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Games for Windows.

Sorry but what the hell are Codies thinking? Why September? That's passed halfway in the series. In fact, it's near the bloody end.
Come time to play, the game will be out of date anyway. Should've been an April/May release.
Yeah its an odd time to release it. I can only think that 2010 could be a test bed for the series, and they may release 2011 earlier. The engine would be there, the basic grasp of the game would also be there, just tweak the GFX and add the rosta/car changes, and your there.
Im actually still a bit surprised Codemasters picked this up. To me, this had EA written all over it, and I can guarantee if they had it, it would be out the door by the start of every season.
They better make it handle better than Grid...
