Heads up, gamers and race enthusiasts! The circuit is getting a jolt of electricity as Formula E: High Voltage, the first official Formula E video game, prepares to launch on October 19, 2023. This isn’t your typical racing game; we’re talking about a fully realized racing management experience developed by Animoca Brands and Amber, complete with NFT-driven digital ownership.
Zoom Through Iconic City Tracks and Manage Your Racing Team
Brace yourselves! This game packs in iconic city center tracks from Rome, Berlin, New York, and London, straight outta the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship. It’s all about strategy here, from choosing the best cars and drivers to special abilities that can give you the upper hand in different weather conditions and during day or night races.
Not Just Pixels: Your Cars and Drivers Are NFTs
Each in-game car and driver isn’t just a digital asset; they’re NFTs with varying rarities—common, rare, epic, and legendary. Oh, and let’s not forget those few rare foil assets per rarity tier! Players have a pool of over 100 skills to pull from, making collecting, training, upgrading, and managing your assets before, during, and after races a critical part of gameplay.
GEN3 Race Cars and 2023 World Champions Join the Grid
The game isn’t skimping on the details. The current GEN3 race car—the fastest, lightest, and most energy-efficient electric race car out there—will be included. As if that weren’t cool enough, you also get a selection of fantasy and official cars and drivers, including 2023 ABB FIA Formula E World Champion Jake Dennis and his Andretti Porsche 99X Electric GEN3.
A Sustainable Blockchain Ecosystem
What makes Formula E: High Voltage unique is its use of Flow, an energy-efficient blockchain, to deliver environmentally sustainable entertainment. This fits well with Formula E’s own mission, as the first sport in the world to be certified as net zero carbon since its inception.
REVV Motorsport Ecosystem: A Larger Playground
Don’t forget, this game is part of the broader REVV Motorsport ecosystem, home to other racing blockchain games like MotoGP™ Ignition and MotoGP™ Guru, as well as original titles like REVV Racing and Torque Drift 2.
Pre-Sale NFT Crates Drop on October 17
Gear up for NFT Crate pre-sales starting on October 17, 2023. You’ll find Solo NFT Crates ranging from $20-30, and Team NFT Crates from $119-149, each filled with official or fantasy Formula E cars and drivers. Make sure you have a Blocto wallet connected to the Flow blockchain, as purchases can be made using the REVV token.
Exec Comments Add More Hype to the Upcoming Launch

Will Griffiths, VP of commercial strategy at Animoca Brands, expressed exhilaration for the unique ownership opportunities via NFTs and blockchain technologies. Marty Caplan, head of innovation vertical at Amber, underscored the innovation in combining Formula E with decentralized collectible games.
