Codemasters Announces GRID Autosport, Due Out This June

Codemasters has just revealed the next instalment to its GRID series, and if you loved the previous games, chances are good GRID Autosport is going to be right up your alley. In fact, the press blurb for Autosport could almost directly apply to GRID 2:

Immerse yourself in the thrilling and intense world of a professional race driver. Overcome key rivals and satisfy team sponsors in ferocious races where every pass and position counts. Compete in your favorite racing discipline or be the ultimate racer and conquer them all. Over 100 routes across 22 incredible locations and the world’s most authentic contemporary and classic high-performance racing cars to collect, tune, and upgrade. Become a champion.

Autosport is more than just a name, it describes what’s possible in the game. You can race with touring cars, participate in endurance competitions, skirt corners in an open-wheel car, and of course, street race with tuner cars. All of that combined with 22 locations and over 100 routes could make this the best GRID to date.

In case an appetite-wheting is needed, here’s some media:

GRID Autosport is due out on June 24 for the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360. Yup – once again, “next-gen” consoles lose out on another game.
