If you’re eager to hear what the team that created Driveclub is working on, after moving under Codemasters’ umbrella following Evolution Studios’ closure by Sony Interactive Entertainment, you’re going to have to wait a while, as mentioned on Twitter by Paul Rustchynsky.
The F1 24 announcement seems imminent, as the Champions Edition cover and details have surfaced in F1 23's game files after the latest patch.
To Sony, and so many other companies in this industry, the short-term satisfaction and happiness of their shareholders means so much more to them than their employees, their products, and their customers.
Apologies, don't know how the above comment ended up here while it clearly should have gone to other article about the Sony lay-offs. Please delete.

No, no, no, no, no... Burnout Paradise was amazing! Just let them make another one of those.
Would be cool to see a spiritual successor to Motorstorm. Codemasters makes enough realistic racing games like Dirt, Grid and F1. Arcade game would give the publisher some diversity in the racing genre.
I'm happy the team is wasting no time/getting back to doing what they enjoy which is creating racers.
That was quick. Hopefully they take their time with the next racer.
Which one of Codemasters IPs do you see them working on?
It looks amazing !
