News: Moto GP has just been revealed along with details about all of the new features that are coming with this new iteration.

Milestone s.r.l. recently revealed that Moto GP 15 will be hitting consoles and PC later on this Spring. One of the standout features of this new chapter dedicated to the motorcycle world championship season - a defining characteristic of the 2015 edition of the official videogame of the MotoGP - is bike, rider, and team customisation, with more than 100 accessories available for purchase.

Bike: choose from more than 20 bike models across three classes, MotoGP, Moto2 and Moto3, choose from 40 different liveries with official colour schemes, and consider offers from the main sponsors to accept their sponsorship during races.

Rider: change the color scheme of your leathers to match your bike, buy boots and gloves, choose your rider's face and customize the helmet with the dedicated Helmet Editor.

Motorhome: transform your game experience with three different motorhomes (Basic, Mid-Range and Top-Range), so your avatar can live in a manner befitting to their level of stardom.

All of the 100+ accessories and the three motorhomes are available right away, and can be purchased with GP Credits, a virtual currency that can be earned in any race mode, online and offline.

The second highlight of the new title is the enhanced career mode, now fully integrated with the customization features. Once you have created your rider (name, face and principal physical characteristics) you start out on the road to becoming world champion. You'll start racing as a Wild Card and subsequently you'll be able to negotiate your future career by choosing one of the official teams participating in the 2015 championship, or choosing sponsors to race with your own Private Team, taking to the track alongside the existing teams. Negotiations hinge on your performance during races, meaning your customization options and resulting appearance are directly linked to your in-game objectives.

The third new component is the introduction of a new game-mode: Beat the Time. In this new race players are assigned a specific bike on a specific circuit. Riders from the different classes featured in the game have set records on that circuit and on that bike. Your aim is to beat that record.

Other new features for MotoGP 15 include the introduction of the two-stroke bikes that made MotoGP history, all the teams, riders and bikes from the 2015 season, and Real Events from the 2014 season, for a complete experience that is unique in its genre. Moto GP 15 is slated to be released for Xbox One, PS4, Xbox 360, PS3 and PC later this Spring. Do you plan on getting it? Tell us what you think below.
