Man. Machine – Ncuti Gatwa Takes Players Inside The Mind Of A Grid Legend
Hypercar manufacturer Tushek makes video game debut, premiering exclusive first look at TS 900 Racer Pro Gameplay
GRID™ Legends has today released ‘Man. Machine’ trailer featuring award-winning actor Ncuti Gatwa. Starring as Voltz Racing’s leading driver Valentin Manzi, Ncuti explores the connection between driver and car and the dedication needed to become a racing champion. Players will learn what it takes to tame a 1332bhp beast and compete in the GRID World Series against Seneca, Voltz, and Ravenwest. Known for style and elegance, Ncuti shares the spotlight with the Tushek TS 900, complete with its exclusive in-game livery. GRID Legends will be available from February 25 on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation®5, alongside PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC (via Origin and Steam).
Tushek makes its video game debut in GRID Legends with the inclusion of the TS 900 Racer Pro. With only 12 physical cars worldwide, this exclusive hybrid will become a fan favourite thanks to its handling, performance, and 380kmh top speed. The TS 900 Racer Pro is the lightest hybrid hypercar available, with every component designed to reduce weight and deliver the ultimate racing experience. The in-game TS 900 Racer Pro provides all the thrills players expect from a hypercar and will challenge the most accomplished driver across city circuits and traditional racetracks.
“It was a pleasure to work with Ncuti. His portrayal of Valentin Manzi has taken our story mode, Driven to Glory, to another level, and we know his followers will enjoy racing alongside him,” said John Merchant, Brand Director at Codemasters. “Players will now understand what’s needed to compete in the GRID World Series and it will take more than focus and a few good moves to win.”
GRID Legends is an all-action racing game featuring established and new gameplay options. With the Race Creator, players can host dream multi-class match-ups and personalise by changing weather conditions, time of day, or adding ramps and boost gates. Also new is ‘Driven to Glory’, a gritty motorsport story that combines virtual production technology and gameplay as players compete for the GRID World Series. The hop-in multiplayer option with cross-platform functionality allows friends to connect easily across all platforms and gets them into races without player lobbies and friend requests.
