Video game developer Cyanide and publisher Focus Home Interactive are announcing that the new installment in the long-running Tour de France video game franchise will be arriving on the PC, the Xbox One, the PlayStation 4 and the PS3 at some point in June.

The first images taken from the title are also now available for fans to explore as they seek to get access to more details about the types of features that the two companies are introducing for the series.

On home consoles, players will be able to explore the 21 stages of the real world Tour de France and the Criterium International and the Criterium du Dauphine, newly added for 2015.

Managing efforts and teammates continue to be important and gamers will also be able to create a dream team of riders in the ProTeam mode and explore a new Challenge experience.

As always the deeper experience is reserved for those who will play Tour de France 2015 on the PC, where they become the sports director of a team of cyclists selected from a pool of 90.

Cyanide and Focus Home Interactive state that 200 competitions and 550- stages are simulated.

A new mode called ProCyclist allows gamers to create a rider and control his evolution from the start of his career as he seeks to become the best the peloton has to offer.

Cyanide adds, "The career mode has been improved, with revised rider progress system, 50 specific training programs, a more extensive scout management system and the opportunity to manage a reserve team!"

Tour De France 2015 needs to cater to the needs of the fans

The developers are also planning to increase the realism for sprints, with gamers now able to select the trajectory for their riders.

The Artificial Intelligence is also supposed to better use its own riders to put up a challenge.

For the last few years, the most dedicated cycling fans have accused Cyanide of making only small tweaks and modifications to the core engine.

In order to make Tour De France 2015 a success, the company needs to make sure that it delivers a polished experience on launch and that it also supports the extensive modding efforts of the community, which improve the game every year.
