The game will feature a deeper Career with over 250 events, an "epic" story mode called ‘Driven to Glory’, over 100 vehicles at launch, cross-platform multiplayer, the return of Drift and Elimination modes, and much more. There's also a new Race Creator which allows players to "host their dream multi-class match-ups".

Here's what Chris Smith, GRID Game Director at Codemasters had to say about the announcement:
“With the release date set, the studio is putting the final polish to our deepest GRID game ever. GRID Legends is an all-action accessible racer focused on variety and choice; deep career, a new innovative story mode and a Race Creator that allows players to create dream racing match-ups with deep personalisation. And our new hop-in gameplay enables friends to connect in seconds and spend more time on the track and less time in lobbies.”

I'll probably check it out when it hits Game Pass. Got burned by the previous iteration of the franchise. 2022 is the year of Forza Motorsport for me (fingers crossed).

I'm a Dirt Rally fan so you won't hear any feedback regarding Dirt 5 from me 😉 However, I loved the original Race Driver: Grid and I can't understand why it is so difficult for Codies to recapture the magic of that game. All it needs is: a focused career mode, a great soundtrack, useful teammates and some team management elements like in the original. Graphics and sound design are sure to be on point knowing Codies.
Looks decent enough but this is def a wait for gamepass game if I ever saw one. Great that they're including crossplay MP as well!
They need to bring back story mode and cutscenes like Race Driver Grid had. I used to love bumping and rubbing on the track then getting the pissed off driver confronting me afterwards. GRID Reboot's rival feature was an afterthought at best.
