Last week, French outlet Dealabs reported new details about EA Sports and Codemasters' upcoming WRC game. The article shared information on the game's release date, pricing, and editions you can purchase, as well as what will appear on the front cover. Assuming it's all legit, it pointed to a proper reveal in the near future, and now, the game will finally be shown tomorrow, 5th September 2023.
This rally racing sim — presumably named EA Sports WRC 23 — will be the first officially licensed title from both EA and Codemasters. The licence switched hands after many years under Nacon (formerly Bigben Interactive), where developer KT Racing hammered out a series of pretty dang good rally games.
Fans of the motorsport are excited for Codemasters to have a crack at the licence, however; it's been making excellent, unofficial rally games for a long time, with the two DiRT Rally titles being a relatively recent highlight. With its expertise under the bonnet, this new racer ought to be great.
Again, the reveal trailer will premiere tomorrow, 5th September, at 8am PDT / 11am EDT / 4pm BST. Are you excited to see what's next for WRC games? Don't cut in the comments section below.
