WRC 23 or DiRT Rally 3.0? Who cares? It's Coming in Spring, Maybe!

As all you rally racing gamers should be aware of, EA has snatched the WRC license from Kylotonn starting 2023. That means EA will be publishing the rally racing games starting sometime next year. While that is a fact, apparently the first EA WRC game will already be coming in spring.

In stark contrast to current release schedules, EA is set to release its first WRC game in spring of 2023. This rumour comes after some reports from GamesIndustry.biz that Geoff Smith of EA will be overseeing WRC until spring, when the game is due to launch.

Why is this such a big surprise?

Until now, WRC games have been released at the end of the season. KT Racing has been following that release schedule dilligently.

On the other hand, we've got other yearly series from EA like F1, which only comes out every summer, so months later.

Keep in mind, though, this is only speculation. Nothing has been confirmed yet.

Should this rumour be real, however, it mean we could be playing the next WRC game in 3 months already!

So let me ask you this: Are you looking forward to the new game? What are your expectations for EA and Codemasters? Let us know in the comments down below!

The detail of RBR, KT's neatness, DiRT tenacity, I hope EA's desperation goes well together

I just hope for a Dirt Rally 3.0. Dirt rally 1 has a good feeling and if you play with RPFE mod, it adds a real simulation to the game (I will upload some videos soon with all the good Mods) . Let's hope the same for their next game and let's hope the real Codemasters team is behind this. Imagine the gorgeous graphics, the ambiance, and the most important aspect is the real sounds. The agressive sound of the actual WRC is so exciting and a game without that is loosing the immersion. Look at the Wrc series from KT racing, year after year it was a frustration. I'm so happy that Codemasters will raise the bar with an incredible WRC game. We deserve that. Until then, RBR is still the king, thanks to the audio mods and the regular updates. EA & Codemasters, please don't disappoint us. Cheers

I can't wait for this game to come out, but I sincerely hope that the sound of the cars and the configuration part of the steering wheels is even corrected, it was very bad and that there are no more tuning complications with various devices, but I fully trust codemasters.
 
I would really like the next WRC game to contain realistically recreated sections, just like the tracks in games with characteristic places, buildings and jumps, such as the special section La Bollene Vesubie - Col de Turini from Monte Carlo. Let the rallies in the new game have 300 km just like in real life and let the time schedule correspond to it in reality.....
 
WRC23, "make your own rally car" :O_o:
Not sound good at all!
They got official license for FIA WRC and make such arcade options for game :(
