UK publishers picks up the Formula One license from Sony and promises multi-format titles next year...

We were a little surprised when it emerged Sony Computer Entertainment Europe wouldn't be releasing its annual Formula One update this year, however it appears that it's for a very good reason.

Presumably putting the team formerly known as the SEGA Racing Studio to work immediately, UK publisher Codemasters today confirmed to MCV that it has snapped up the license behind the popular motorsport.

Signalling a multi-format change to the previously PlayStation exclusive brand, the announcement further cements Codemasters position in the racing genre, although given DIRT's stance and style we're hoping they're not planning to tailor F1 to a US audience too much.

Initial details suggest the game will take advantage of Codemaster's proprietory EGO game engine, with the first game set to make an appearance in 2009 on a range of consoles, handhelds and PC formats.

I thought Sony's F1 game was very good. I hope codemaster can improve on that! I agree that us USA people can screw up a good thing, so I too hope they keep it true too the sport! I just don't understand why we (us Americans) only want to go straight or in a circle (how many people in the world drive only straight or only in a circle?!?!I don't get it!!!). There's a hellva lot more to driving in the world than that - and it's a whole crap load of fun!!!
