Le Mans Ultimate releases first DLC including Imola

MIAMI, July 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Motorsport Games Inc. (NASDAQ: MSGM)(“Motorsport Games” or the “Company”), a racing game developer and publisher, is today releasing the first Downloadable Content (DLC) Pack for ‘Le Mans Ultimate’, the official game of the FIA World Endurance Championship and 24 Hours of Le Mans. Available from today, this release marks the first outing of new additions to the 2024 grid, and adds to a growing roster of race tracks.

The inaugural DLC pack (“2024 Pack 1”) is themed around the Italian “Tifosi” and features the Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari (Imola Circuit) alongside two standout Hypercars - the Italian Lamborghini SC63 LMDH and the 2024 Peugeot 9X8 LMH, which made its debut at the Imola circuit earlier this season. The first pack is on sale at an early access price of just £9.99 / €11.99 / $12.99 and can be added to your Le Mans Ultimate collection via Steam today.

Stephen Hood, CEO of Motorsport Games, expressed his enthusiasm for the new releases: “The 2024 FIA WEC season has been nothing short of spectacular, and we are thrilled to bring that excitement into Le Mans Ultimate with our first DLC pack. The community’s desire for the latest cars, liveries, and circuits has been our driving force, and we’re excited to deliver these new additions that enhance the immersive experience of WEC racing.”

This pack is the first of four 2024 DLC releases, which can also be purchased as part of the “2024 Season Pass”, allowing players to pre-purchase all four packs at a discounted rate. The Season Pass will include four new Hypercars, four iconic circuits, and seven closely matched GT3 cars. The three following packs, not all of equal sizes, are expected for users to enjoy in September/October 2024, December 2024 and Early 2025 respectively.

In addition to the paid content, Motorsport Games and Studio 397 continue to support its community with free updates. Following the release of the free BMW M Hybrid V8 Hypercar to Early Access players last month, two GT3 cars will also be available for free download at a later date, ensuring that all players, regardless of their purchase history, can enjoy taking part in 2024 machinery. Additionally, several quality-of-life fixes have been included in this update with new free features planned for the following months.
