DiRT Rally announced – Out Now in Early Access

Posted by: 4/27/2015

Today Codemasters pulled a fast one on us – they revealed their new DiRT game which was rumored to be DiRT 4 for a long time. The game is being released as an Early Access Game and can be purchased now at a 10% Discount for $31.49.

DiRT has been on a break since the excellent DiRT 3 some years ago as Codemasters regrouped to plan what’s next for the franchise which went a bit off the classic Rally racer path that the Colin McRae titles were on.

Well, with DiRT Rally the UK developer went all out into the world of Rally Simulation and left behind the buggies and Raid cars from years past as well as it’s Dude-Bro vibes. The Steam Early Access model allows Codies to focus on what fans have been wanting, a true to the sport rally simulation without flashiness and a lot more substance.

The community will be DiRT Rally’s co-driver, says Codemasters as their feedback will help shape the evolution of the experience. For players joining DiRT Rally in Early Access and the road ahead, the team wants their feedback. They’ll be helping to test theories and providing vital data that will help to refine DiRT Rally.

From the outset, players purchasing DiRT Rally on Steam Early Access will get access to the following:

·         17 CARS OVER 6 NEW AND CLASSIC CLASSES – Including BMW M3 Evo; Audi Quattro S1; Lancia Delta HF Integrale and Subaru Impreza

·         DIVERSE LOCALES – 36 challenging stages set across Hafren, Wales; Monte Carlo, Monaco and Argolis, Greece

·         TEAM MANAGEMENT – Hire up to four engineering staff to work on your car between stages

·         DAMAGE & REPAIRS – Wear and tear is faithfully recreated with a comprehensive and realistic damage model. Damage can be repaired by hiring Engineers to work in the team’s Service Area between stages but with a finite amount of time available
