Grid legends: Our most ambitious story ever
One thing is immediately clear as soon as our reveal trailer begins: This is much more than a racing game.
Many titles from the network Archives have not shy away from writing a compelling story about exciting racing action, and Grid legends takes this approach to another level. For well over a year, the incredible team here has been planning and realizing a breathtaking narrative with virtual production that combines reality and technology for a racing experience that this series has never seen before.
An excellent cast of talent including Ncuti Gatwa (star of Netflix’s “Educational classes “) bring our story to life as it revolves around a new season of the Grid World Series – dominated by the infamous Ravenwest Motorsport and its five-time champion: Nathan McKane. A flying documentary captures every moment as new teams and new personalities make their own attempt to achieve stardom, with action and drama abundant both on the track and in the paddock. The limelight is on you to brave the odds and keep your nerve behind the wheel and beat McKane and Ravenwest, but that’s a lot easier said than done.
The twists and turns are not only saved for the route. Expect the unexpected, watch the lines between fantasy and reality blur, and be ready to take on everyone in exciting racing events around the world. This is your chance to become the next racing legend. Only one question remains: will you take advantage of this opportunity?

Create the ultimate Grid legends event
While all cars are divided into dedicated classes, our Race Creator tools let you create events with multiple classes on the track and many more variables to make the race unique.

Oh, and There is a countdown timer that eliminates the last car placed when the timer reaches zero. With the Race Creator you can make this a reality – and when you are done designing your event why not take it online and challenge racers all over the world to take part?
Grid legends‘Story and other modes will have hundreds of carefully crafted events using all of these tools, but we wanted you to have the same opportunity to create and share your dream race. We can’t wait to see what you conjure up.
