Like every year, the roar of engines of different categories and displacements at the start of the Motorcycle World Championship heralds the arrival of video games. And in this 2023 it will not be an exception. Milestone and Dorna Sports confirmed the launch of MotoGP 23 on June 8.
A realistic Career mode with turning points for users to choose their path to glory and two new features to increase realism: dynamic weather and flag-to-flag racing are some of the main attractions of this title. .
With all the official drivers and circuits of the 2023 season of the categories MotoGP, Moto2, Moto3 and MotoEthe new chapter of the historic franchise will be available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and Steam.
As we said, among the main novelties of MotoGP 23 is the design of the career mode, designed to give players the freedom to build their own path, on their way to becoming a two-wheeled legend.
Indeed, the introduction of tipping points will affect career paths based on performance achieved and the decisions made by each player. After its debut in the last part of the season in Moto3, it will be possible to advance faster in the different categories according to the results obtained; However, finding a contract won’t be easy, as each team will only have two spots and players will have to compete with the official drivers to take their place.
Turns will influence the evolution of modes during the tests of the season, with specific challenges to accelerate evolution. It is important to note that this year the rivalries will not be limited to the circuit; for the first time, MotoGP 23 will also have a social network to interact with riders, teams and manufacturers.
Just like in real life, it will be the place to make friends but also annoy rivals, as the AI will behave differently during races also depending on how players act on the social network.
Two new features, much requested by the community, will take the simulation to a new level of realism. With the introduction of dynamic weather, a dry race can now quickly turn into wet mayhem, where skill and strategy can make all the difference.
So the race can be declared as flag to flag with the ability to return to pit lane and switch bikes to gain a strategic advantage. Advanced AI will finally allow the driver to have on-track behavior more consistent with their actual racing style, as each driver will have their own unique personality that will directly affect their actions in the race.
Satisfying the needs of both experienced and novice players, the new riding aids for braking, acceleration and bike control will provide an accessible yet challenging gaming experience, so everyone can experience the thrills of authentic MotoGP, regardless of their starting skill level. . In addition, the famous MotoGP Academy returns to help players learn the basics or perfect their style with dedicated training sessions.
MotoGP 23 will also offer multiple multiplayer options, both online and offline. For the first time, will support crossplay which will allow you to play with other users regardless of the platform and generation of consoles they use, while the new ranked races will ensure fairer matches by pitting players of the same level against each other. And LAN split-screen two-player gameplay returns for users to challenge friends to head-to-head races from the couch.
Finally, editors for helmets, stickers, race number and rear suit advertising will allow users to show off their style making their MotoGP journey even more unique.
