Det blir ingen uppföljare till EA Sports WRC. Codemasters satsar på DLC istället

EA och racinglegendarerna hemma hos Codemasters meddelade under gårdagskvällen att det inte blir något EA Sports WRC 24 eller något EA Sports WRC 25. Istället satsar de på live service-modellen och släpper två olika DLC-paket till fjolårets rallyupplevelse. Något som redan gjort tusentals rallyfans besvikna då bekymren med optimering av Unreal 4-motoprn skapat problem för mången spelare, ut ett rent tekniskt perspektiv.

Saxat ur den officiella pressreleasen:
"EA today unveiled the EA SPORTS WRC roadmap for the coming year, with a 2024 season update, including new locations, moments, stages, high-performance vehicles, and customisable liveries. Featuring content exclusive for the 2024 season, EA SPORTS WRC is the ultimate rally experience that takes driving to the edge of control in pursuit of the perfect run.

Preceding the WRC 2024 Season Expansion is the Season 6 Rally Pass*, running July through September, that offers new grouped rewards of helmets, race suits and gloves, so drivers have a greater chance to complete entire collections. For the first time, liveries for vehicle classes beyond WRC will be available, giving players more ways to personalise their rally experience. Alongside the new content, the 2024 WRC Esports Championship will launch with a series of online events and an in-person final to coincide with the end of the season. More details will be announced in the coming weeks.

"The 2024 WRC Expansion ensures our game content remains fresh, allowing players to advance their careers with the introduction of two thrilling locations, more vehicles, and expanded customisation options," said Matthew Battison, Creative Director at Codemasters. "The free Season 6 Rally Pass gives players more reasons to jump back into the game ahead of our major plans for later in the year."
