Racing Master is an upcoming free-to-play racing video game developed by Dahua Studios in partnership with Codemasters, and published by NetEase Games for iOS, Android, and Microsoft Windows.
Gameplay
The game has a focus on motorsport styled racing and features a combination of real life tracks such as Yas Marina Circuit to street circuits in different cities around the world such as Barcelona, Chicago , Sicily, Tokyo, and more. Chicago and San Francisco are based on the tracks of the same name in racing game series Grid. The game will feature over 100 various types of vehicles separated into 3 different classes.[1] Players will be able to play in a story mode as well as other various online multiplayer modes. Racing School mode teaches players different techniques starting from basic to more advanced. Players can perform extensive performance tuning and upgrades to their vehicle. Customization ranging from body kits, decals, paint, underglow, and a livery creator for vehicles are also available to players. The game will also support cross-platform play between the iOS, Android, and Microsoft Windows versions.
Development
Development on Racing Master began sometime in 2018. The goal for the team was to create a game that brings the AAA game quality to the mobile platform. The game engines used are Unreal Engine 4 and Ego Game Technology Engine which is provided by Codemasters.[2] The team test drives each vehicle and collects data on each vehicle's performance to accurately replicate its characteristics into the game. 3D scanning is also used to help recreate each vehicle's interior and exterior.[3] Each vehicle have their own sound profile and have audio for different scenarios recording such as the engine, turbo, ignition, acceleration, drifting, and more.[4] Over 40 licensed songs are included in the game's soundtrack. Tracks are created using collected field data. References, landmarks, and the location's appearance are used to help shape the design of the track.
A trailer officially revealed the game on 12 March 2021 following the first closed beta which was available in Canada and United States on 19 March 2021. Racing Master was featured during the 2021 NetEase Connect Event and later on at the 2021 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3).[5][6] A second closed beta for Canada and United States was available on 11 October 2021.
