Gameplay

Project CARS 3 introduces more customizable cars that are available to race over 140 global circuits. The game also features 24-hour cycles, various seasons, and weather effects.[1] The career mode has been rebuilt, with the artificial intelligence being enhanced. The game will support VR on PC.[2] According to CEO of Slightly Mad Studios Ian Bell, the game would be a spiritual successor to the Need for Speed: Shift series, which was also developed by Slightly Mad Studios.[3] Having been acquired by British video game developer and publisher Codemasters, which is known for the Formula One series, Colin McRae Rally series and the Dirt series, in November 2019, Project CARS 3 is expected to share some elements from Codemasters' similar genre video game series TOCA, or Grid. The game received its first game trailer on 3 June 2020.[4] The game will also feature a refined multiplayer mode.[5]

Unlike its predecessors, this game will not feature tyre wear or fuel depletion, and as such, there are no pit stops.[6]

Development and release

Project CARS 3 is still developed by Slightly Mad Studios and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment.[7] The development began in fall 2018 after the commercial success of Project CARS 2.[8] Instead of switching to parent company Codemasters's Ego engine, the game is still powered by the same engine as its predecessors.[9] The game is set to be released on Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on 28 August 2020.[10][11]
