tour de france 2023 gameplay

Gameplay trailers released for Tour de France 2023 and Pro Cycling Manager 2023

Nacon and Cyanide Studio have revealed new trailers for two of their upcoming games, Tour de France 2023 and Pro Cycling Manager 2023 . Both games are set to release on June 8, with Tour de France 2023 coming to PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC, and Pro Cycling Manager 2023 coming to PC.

Both games are set to feature tons of teams across various competitions, with Tour de France 2023 featuring riders from 21 teams in this year’s competition, and Pro Cycling Manager 2023 allowing players to manage teams across World Tour, Pro Tour, and most of the Continental. Climber, Sprinter, Puncher, and Rouleur rider profiles and characteristics will also be available on both titles.

Jerseys from the cycling world have been faithfully reproduced, with the four distinct jerseys of the Tour de France (yellow, green, white, and polka-dot) available, as well as national champion and world champion rainbow jerseys. Tour de France 2023 also includes red bibs for the Super Combative rider and yellow bibs for the best ranked teams. The new features in Tour de France 2023 include:

• As well as the “Race of the Moment”, which was introduced in the previous edition, a new challenge has been added: the “Downhill of the Moment”. This new game mode takes place solely on downhill stretches and so requires unique strategies. Players can then compare their ranking with other competitors from all over the world.
• More realistic rating system: The introduction of Agility and Medium Mountain ratings can lead to unexpected incidents, such as falls within the peloton, and also has an effect on what path the riders take.
• More strategic gameplay: Players can devise different strategies depending on their team members and their statistics.
• Updated rider equipment, now rated based on quality.
• Distinctive bibs added: “Super Combative” and “Best Team” for a greater challenge.
• Various technical improvements: including collisions, AI behaviour and the path riders take in downhill stretches.

As for Pro Cycling Manager 2023, players can expect the following:

• Improved user interfaces with a redesign of the “race results” page and a brand-new “race page”.
• A new training system: management of the training calendar and tasks so priorities can be set.
• Official races with all ASO races (Tour de France, Paris-Roubaix, Paris-Nice).
• A redesigned world ranking, now based on the real-life system and UCI points classification.
• A new system for managing nation registration for the World Championships.
• A new “Medium Mountain” rating.

Tour de France 2023 Release Date – Gameplay, Trailer, Story

T he newest installment of Cyanide Studio’s Tour De France series is set to launch this June and comes with all-new features and improvements. Nacon’s Pro Cycling Manager 2023 is set to release the day after

Tour de France 2023 Release Date

Tour de France releases on Thursday, June 8th. It will launch on Playstation 4, Playstation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (though a controller is required to play). It will be available on both Steam and the Epic Games store. The game will release one month prior to the real-life Tour de France, which will go on from July 1st to July 23rd.

Tour de France 2023 retains most of the same gameplay elements from its predecessors with updates to its visuals. New modes have also been announced, as well as the return of others.

Race, My Tour, Pro Team, and Pro Leader modes will return once again. Additionally, a couple of modes will be revamped/returning back to the series:

Challenges of the Moment will bring back the fan-requested “Downhill Challenges” Mode. The challenges will only be available for a limited time, and you’ll be competing with other players for the top spot of the leaderboard. The rule is simple, race downhill as fast you can and get the quickest time possible. The developer has noted that for different challenges you will need to use a particular rider. The mode offers a ghost, which is essentially a recording of your best run so you can learn which areas you need to improve on.

Race of the Moment  is also returning, but Cyanide Studios will implement a new ranking system based on fan feedback from the previous title. Rankings will now be based on time difference, meaning that the bigger margin of victory you have over your opponent, the higher ranked you’ll be. However, if you lose, you won’t fall down too badly if the time difference is small.

A new mode, called  Descent of the Moment, is also being introduced. It focuses solely on downhill racing where the player must reach the bottom of the summit as quickly as possible.

Other minor changes include:

• New “grupettos” between riders
• Distinctive bibs added for “”super combative”” and the best team

The game will feature all 21 official stages of the 2023 Tour de France with updated equipment from official brands.

Tour de France 2023 Trailer

The new trailer showcases the Downhill challenge mode, which will be returning to the series.

While there is no direct story with cutscenes like F1 23’s Braking Point mode , there is a career mode. Pro Leader mode acts as the “franchise/myCareer” mode for Tour de France 2023. You take control of your own created cyclist, customize them to your play style, and compete in races to upgrade your skills and become the world champion.

Pro Team Mode acts similarly but allows control over a whole team instead of just the individual racer. Teams start at the bottom of the rankings and race to receive an invitation to race against the best.

Tour de France 2023 will give the player more settings to choose from in Pro Leader and Pro Team modes. Such settings include age limits and the level of skill your cyclists have on the team. There’s also 16 different jerseys to choose from for your team.

Tour de France 2023: our selection of the most beautiful mountain stages

Inspiration

Cycling Tourism Nature and Outdoor Activities Sporting Activities Mountains

Reading time: 0 min Published on 4 December 2023, updated on 15 April 2024

The most famous cycle race in the world, the Tour de France will be taking to the skies once again this year, as the 3,404km and 21 stages will take in all 5 of France's mountain ranges! The Pyrenees, the Auvergne volcanoes, the Jura mountains, the Alps and the Vosges massif... The peloton has plenty of pedalling to do and plenty of climbing to do. The grandiose landscapes, the high altitude finishes and the dizzying descents promise to be emotional highs. To experience the highs (and lows) of the Grand Loop, saddle up with our selection of the most beautiful mountain stages.

From Tarbes to Cauterets-Cambasque, the Pyrenees take centre stage

After 3 stages on the Spanish side, welcome to the French Pyrenees! First there's Bayonne and the Basque country, Dax and its thermal baths, Pau and its beautiful castle where King Henry IV was born. And then there's Tarbes, with its breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains, its palm-lined streets (yes, yes!) and its gourmet markets. The riders of the 2023 Tour de France will need a lot of courage to tear themselves away from this gentle way of life and tackle the climbs of the Aspin and terrible Tourmalet cols . The reward for all this climbing is a finish on the Cambasque plateau, overlooking the charming resort of Cauterets, in the heart of the Pyrenees National Park, where the Pic du Midi is enthroned. Want to cool off? Try the hike to the peaceful Lac d'Ilhéou . In a green setting with magnificent views and waterfalls, picnics and swimming...

The Puy de Dôme, a feast for the eyes in Auvergne

The ascent of Puy de Dôme, the undisputed star of the Auvergne, will be one of the highlights of the 2023 Tour de France! The youngest and highest volcano in the Puys chain has not featured on the itinerary for 35 years. Taking on this fearsome and majestic peak and finishing with a 360° view over the gentle rolling hills of the Parc naturel régional des Volcans d'Auvergne is sure to motivate many a rider! But did you know that you can also climb this peaceful giant by mule track or on board the Panoramique des Dômes, a picturesque little cogwheel train? In just 15 minutes, you'll be transported to an altitude of 1,465 m, with the 80 volcanoes of the Puy range and the Limagne fault (listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site at your feet. To complete a stage that's full of fireworks, the Vulcania Park is not far away! Who can beat that?

Breathtaking escapes in the Jura

Expect to fall under the spell of Châtillon-sur-Chalaronne! Just 1 hour from Lyon and the Monts du Beaujolais, this small town in the Ain département, from which the Tour de France 2023 peloton will set off on 14 July, is a delightful medieval town. With its pink stone houses, flower-bedecked bridges and old market hall housing one of France's most popular traditional markets, it is also the gateway to the Dombes region, a paradise for fish farmers and birdwatchers with its landscapes of water and ponds. Take advantage of this area on foot, by boat or, ideally, by bike (it's flat!), before taking to the heights of the Montagnes du Jura , just a stone's throw away. The Pyramide du Bugey, from the top of which you can see Mont Blanc and Lake Geneva, is a must-see. The Tour de France riders attack it via the Col du Grand Colombier. At top speed. Take your time, the panorama is well worth it!

In the Alps, between lakes and legendary passes

It's doubtful that the riders will enjoy the view of Lake Geneva as they take their first pedal to the metal in the Alps at Annemasse on stage 14 of the Tour de France 2023. We recommend this one, though, as well as the view of Lake Annecy and its turquoise waters. Then it's time for a series of twists and turns and climbs to the legendary passes of the Alps, including the famous Col du Feu, an unprecedented climb for the peloton. At an altitude of 1,000 metres, in the heart of the Portes du Soleil ski area, the stage finish in Morzine won't dampen the spirits of those who love nature. In summer, the little village resort in the Alps is an ideal playground for lovers of outdoor activities : a stroll along the Dérêches river, swimming in Lake Montriond, canyoning or via ferrata... the hardest thing will be to choose.

From Gets to Saint-Gervais, Mont Blanc in your sights

For the first time since its creation, the Tour de France will start from Les Gets. Well-known to mountain bikers (the World Championships were held there in 2022), the pretty Alpine resort will kick off a 15th stage during which you'll need to have plenty of breath. The Col de la Forclaz-Montmin is on the programme. So allow yourself a break at its belvedere for a bird's-eye view of Lake Annecy before setting off again for Saint-Gervais, at the foot of Mont-Blanc. If you want to reach the highest peak in the Alps, this village resort, with its well-preserved heritage and traditions, is the ideal place to stop. And its thermal baths, renowned for the many benefits of their waters, set the well-being at the summit in a magnificent green setting.

Courchevel, star of the Alps

The regulars call it Courch' and they come and go summer and winter as connoisseurs, just like the Tour de France caravan which is visiting the Savoyard resort for the 4th time. Welcome to the pinnacle of top-of-the-range skiing in the Alps, at the heart of the Three Valleys ski area. Courchevel tops the list not only for the size of its ski area (Méribel and Val Thorens are its famous neighbours) but also for its range of hotels (no fewer than 5 mountain palaces , from the Apogée to the Cheval Blanc, not forgetting the K2 Palace, Airelles and the Hôtel Barrière Les Neiges) and restaurants. So, with its 6 hamlets and the surrounding area, the resort has a lot to offer. Take a selfie at the top of La Saulire, take a stroll down to Lac de la Rosière, cycle down the Bike Park, spend the night in the Lacs Merlet refuge or hike through the heart of the Vallée des Avals... You're going to love it!

Full steam ahead in the Vosges

Between the Lorraine plateau and the Alsace plain, the Vosges massif lives up to its reputation: a perfect blend of nature, wide open spaces, traditions and local produce, crafts and fine cheeses. Between the Grand Ballon d'Alsace and the Petit Ballon, via the famous Col de la Schlucht, the Tour de France 2023 will be taking a break from the normality of the mountains, with a new finish on the slopes of the Markstein, in the welcoming family resort of Marlstein Fellering. In the heart of the Ballons des Vosges Regional Nature Park , you can enjoy bucolic hikes, tobogganing in the mountain pastures, paragliding with a view, and mountain biking (or mountain bikes) in a landscape of absolute serenity. And for those with a sweet tooth, July is the peak of blueberry season (and the season for tarts in the farm inns).

And (finally) Paris.... and the Olympics!

Will the riders be in Olympic form for the triumphant finish on the Champs-Elysées on 23 July 2023? Just one year ahead of the 2024 Olympics in Paris , the route will certainly provide a magnificent prologue to the sporting event. Starting in Saint-Quentin en Yvelines, all the future Olympic venues in the Yvelines département will be on the peloton's final route. A gigantic loop will join the Colline d'Elancourt (where the mountain bike events will take place), the Golf National in Guyancourt and the Château de Versailles , which will host the equestrian events and part of the modern pentathlon competitions. A prestigious line-up of finishers for a Tour de France 2023 that's sure to be at the top of its game!
