It’s that time of year again. Time to grab our lycra shorts and hop aboard our two wheeled pedal powered machines in the hope that we can yet again recreate Tour glory. Or perhaps we could just fire up the official Le Tour De France 2016 videogame.
Available on Xbox one and PS4 in June, the latest Le Tour De France game is sure to go down well with cycling lovers and enthusiasts. Giving you the opportunity to don your favourite team’s jersey and join the ranks of the elite – Â we just hope that it plays out better than last year’s effort. Whilst the release is still a month away, today we can at least check out the first screenshots from Le Tour de France 2016, showcasing a few of the peloton of new features featured in the game.
Play as the greatest champions seeking to wear the yellow jersey in the 21 stages of the 2016 Tour, and in other big competitions such as the Criterium International or the Dauphiné. You will guide your rider through the heart of the race, choosing the best trajectory and making the best tactical decisions as you attack, sprint, and counter-attack to get the better of your opponents. Decide to hit the road alone, challenge your friends or play cooperative on the same screen.
This year we’ll get the chance to experience even more realistic stages thanks to enhanced graphics that bring the new route to life as you run by the Mont Saint-Michel, the Mont Ventoux and a big final on the Champs Elysées. The Challenge mode that is in place will put your descent skills to the test and can now be played through in multiplayer, while the Pro Team, in which you build your team over several seasons, benefits from many improvements and from a brand new sponsor and objective system!
If you fancy yourself as a bit of a Cav, then now you can also “throw your bike” and win precious inches in order to be the first to cross the line.
As always, we’ll bring you more as and when we have it.
