On the content side, we are told that "the immersive Career mode offers many ways to work around riders and bike performance. As you progress through the development trees, players have full control of settings ranging from personnel management to developing an advanced configuration for the motorcycle. Personnel management involves hiring different professionals like personnel manager, chief engineer or data analyst. The development tree is structured into different areas, each requiring a specific number of research points to unlock. These points are acquired passively by engineers or actively by players by completing specific tasks during race weekends.
The famous ANNA system - based on neural networks and machine learning to guarantee a tailor-made gaming experience - will be present in SBK 22, as will the various customization options for riders and motorcycles. "The Fiction Team is, instead, entirely focused on creating a totally fictional team with customizable rendering and styling," the statement read. Finally, the online game has not been forgotten. “Up to 12 players can create online lobbies, where competitions reach a whole new level, we are assured. The multiplayer stream is customizable by choosing to add, or not, the typical Tissot-Superpole session of SBK before the race. In this fully online experience, players have the ability to customize each race with new settings and rules.
The release of SBK 22 is scheduled for September 15 on Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, PS4, PS5 and PC.
