EA Sports WRC is the next from Codemasters’ DiRT devs

DiRT no more?

EA Sports WRC is the next rally title from the team behind Codemasters’ DiRT franchise, and it’s coming in early November.

“Developed by Codemasters, the team behind the critically acclaimed DiRT Rally series, with over 25 years of off-road videogame heritage, EA Sports WRC is a truly next-generation rally game and the quintessential title for sim-racing enthusiasts,” EA Sports said in a press release earlier this month.

The title promises “long, more detailed stages” than seen in a DiRT title, with 18 official FIA World Rally Championship locations.

“The game also boasts 10 current WRC, WRC2, and Junior WRC vehicles and 68 of the most iconic rally cars spanning 60 years of the sport,” EA Sports continued.

“Working together with official WRC teams and manufacturers, such as Ford, Toyota, and Hyundai, each vehicle is built to tackle every challenge they’ll face throughout the season. The hybrid-powered 4WD Rally1 cars are some of the fastest in the sport’s history, capable of incredible speeds while tackling gravity-defying jumps, deteriorating surfaces, and adverse weather.”

Players who pre-order the game will receive five VIP Rally Passes for access to additional post launch content, livery and apparel packs, and up to three days of early access starting 31 October 2023.

Otherwise, expect EA Sports WRC from 3 November on Windows PC via Steam, the Epic Games Store and the EA App alongside Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X and PS5.
