Kim Orremark är på plats hemma hos Codemasters idag som för ett par timmar sedan (precis som vi gissat) utannonserade uppföljaren till det vi på Gamereactor anser vara världens bästa rallyspel genom alla tider. Dirt Rally 2.0 kommer att släppas till PC, Playstation 4 samt Xbox One i februari och som vi hoppades på i detta blogginlägg kommer spelet att innehålla nya WRX-kärror samt åtta verkliga WRX-banor tillsammans med en rad andra, äldre ekipage samt traditionella WRC-sträckor. Huvudfiguren bakom det första spelet, Paul Coleman, lämnade olyckligtvis studion i juni i år men Codemasters försäkrar oss om att spelet kommer att vara lika "hardcore" och precis lika realistiskt som det första. De hittills utannonserade bilarna är Porsche 911 RGT Rally Spec, Ford Escort MkII, Lancia Stratos, Subaru Impreza 1995, Audi Sport quattro S1 E2 och Ford Fiesta OMSE SuperCar Lite.
Mer om Dirt Rally 2.0 på måndag när embargot går ut och Kim är på hemmaplan igen. Nedan hittar du utannonseringstrailern.

DiRT Rally 2.0 will take you to six rally locations around the world where you can take on incredible hand crafted stages in a wide variety of cars from the history of the sport and modern day.

In addition there will also be a DiRT Rally 2.0 Deluxe Edition which also includes the first two seasons of post-launch additional content, each with three locations (split between rally and rallycross) and five early vehicles unlocks (Ford Escort MkII, Lancia Stratos, Subaru Impreza 1995, AUDI Sport quattro S1 E2 and Ford Fiesta OMSE SuperCar Lite).

"We are thrilled to finally be able to talk about DiRT Rally 2.0," commented Ross Gowing, Chief Games Designer, Codemasters. "Rally is incredibly important to Codemasters and the entire team is absolutely dedicated to creating the most authentic experience possible in a game.
"Our passionate, knowledgeable community helped to make DiRT Rally a special title. We have been working with a selection of that community alongside a roster of real world rally drivers to ensure that we meet their high standards," continued Ross. "We are not afraid to make a challenging game. Driving a rally car down a stage is not easy and we want players to experience that same adrenaline rush from driving on the edge."
