DiRT Rally 2.0 Celebrates Forthcoming Release with New Trailer

Codemasters has revealed the launch trailer for DiRT Rally 2.0™, which releases on the PlayStation® 4 computer entertainment system, the Xbox One family of devices including Xbox One X and Windows PC (DVD and via Steam) on Tuesday 26 February 2019.

You can view the new gameplay trailer on the official DiRT YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/dirtgame.

The new trailer showcases the breadth of challenge on offer: from piloting legendary rally cars through the fast and flowing mixed surfaces of Poland, to fighting for first place in an FIA World Rallycross Championship supercar, to conquering tricky weather conditions in the Porsche 911 RGT Rally Spec. With new features including improved handling, stage degradation and tyre choice, DiRT Rally 2.0 brings the most immersive and truly off-road racing experience ever.

DiRT Rally 2.0 is follow-up title to the critically and commercially acclaimed DiRT Rally® – which after its hugely successful Early Access program on Steam, launched fully on consoles and PC in April 2016.

Codemasters’ SVP Product Development, Clive Moody, said of the game: “DiRT Rally 2.0 builds on the challenge thrown down by the original DiRT Rally and delivers the toughest challenge in the DiRT franchise. The combination of enhanced handling with each individual car and improved weather systems, alongside the new track degradation, makes every stage feel completely different. Every corner in every location has its own personality, requiring drivers to remain focused and determined from start to finish. Aim for a clean stage, but failing that just try to get to the end!”

  • Week 1:ŠKODA Fabia Rally, Citroën C4 Rally
