Rally Centraleuropa utannonserat till EA Sports WRC

Vi visste förvisso redan i somras att EA Sports WRC skulle innehålla 18 rallyn när det väl var färdiguppdaterat men bara 17 länder vid lansering och nu är det alltså dags, på torsdag. Central European Rally släpps tillsammans med en himla massa grafiska förbättringar och shader-fix (för att förbättra hur spelet flyter) och det rallyt kommer då att erbjuda 3,2 mil asfaltssträckor.

"Electronic Arts is excited to announce the launch of the Season 2 Update for EA SPORTS WRC, offering rally enthusiasts an enhanced gameplay experience with fresh challenges. The new content includes the inaugural Central European Rally, comprised of over 32kms of fast, demanding, and adrenaline-inducing asphalt across 12 stages. The update also includes Rally Pass items and over 60 new Moments.

Inspired by the recent official WRC rally, the new Central European location introduces fans to the high-speed, flowing Czech roads in this new asphalt-based stage. It is available for free* to all players from December 14 and across all major game modes, including Career, with various weather conditions and seasonal climates. Tips and tricks to tackle the new location along with the full route list can be found on the EA SPORTS WRC website.

"Our vision with Central Europe is to dare our players to push the limits of control and take calculated risks as they race through small villages, forests and open farmland. The addition of the Central European Rally provides an exhilarating gaming experience with its wide, winding roads and unique countryside tracks," said Matthew Battison, Creative Director at Codemasters. "This is just the beginning of a series of exciting updates that we have planned for EA SPORTS WRC, and we look forward to sharing more in the coming months."

In addition to several game enhancements, from December 19, this update marks the start of a new Rally Pass Season, offering players the chance to unlock up to 30 customisation items across the free, VIP and EA Play tiers. Over 60 Moments will also be released in Season 2, giving fans the opportunity to relive the history of WRC and take on unique daily challenges. Eight of these Moments will be exclusive to EA Play members."
