Press release:
Lesquin, 31 March 2021.
NACON and Cyanide are delighted to announce that their two cycling simulations will return this year: “Tour de France 2021” and “Pro Cycling Manager 2021“!

Manage your team of riders in Pro Cycling Manager 2021
Pro Cycling Manager 2021 is the only cycling simulation game that combines management and racing in real time. In the shoes of a manager, players need to recruit, train and direct the riders in their team to take them to the top of the rankings. Benefiting from Cyanide’s extensive experience, this new instalment lets you participate in over 260 races, including all 21 official stages of the Tour de France 2021 – a total of 700 stages. New features have been added to the game, including:

European championships and national teams added
Improved AI, especially in the peloton behaviour
More realistic weather, which affects fatigue and rider performance
Top manufacturers’ helmets, bike frames and wheels recreated in game for added realism

Cross the finish line at the Champs-Elysées with Tour de France 2021
The video game of the third most followed sporting competition in the world is back! Faithfully recreating the new route that starts in Brittany this year, Tour de France 2021 thrusts players straight into the thick of the peloton as a rider in one of the top Tour de France teams.
Adapt your strategy to meet your objectives: join the early breakaway to win the green jersey, excel in the mountain stages by becoming the best climber, or save your energy for the final sprint on the last day to take the iconic yellow jersey.
Multiple improvements and new features have been added to Tour de France 2021, including:

The official route of the Tour de France 2021
A redesign of My Tour mode, with more customisation options and 89 stages available
A new recovery mechanic for added realism
More realistic peloton behaviour
Equipment from a wide range of official brands

Tour de France 2021 will be available on PlayStation®4, PlayStation®5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC from 3 June 2021
