Today, NetEase Games and Codemasters announced the upcoming release of the mobile game Racing Master.
In Racing Master, players will be able “to race, tune and build their ultimate car collection.” Fans will be able to choose from hundreds of hyper-realistic cars from famous brands such as Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, Koenigsegg, and Aston Martin. The online racing game will also feature “real-world tracks across several race types.”
Racing Masters will make its way on iOS and Android for beta test in the US and Canada later this month. The cross-platform title will be available in other formats not yet revealed.
The real-time simulation racing game is being developed with the Unreal Engine 4 and Codemasters’ own EGO technology.
