Starting this year, the WRC license is officially in the hands of Codemasters, and leaks have claimed for a while that WRC 23 will be releasing sometime in the coming months. In March, prominent leaker billbil-kun claimed that the title would be announced “soon”, and May, the leaker claimed that a launch date of July 28 had been set for the racing sim.
Now, however, in a new post published on Dealabs, the leaker claims WRC 23 has been hit with an internal delay. While the reason for the same isn’t mentioned, it’s stated that the game will now launch later in the year, sometime before November 1, though a specific release date is currently unknown.
Interestingly, the leaker also claims that WRC 23 will only be releasing for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC and will be skipping PS4 and Xbox One, making it Codemasters’ first game since the launch of new-gen consoles to not cross-gen. As per the leaker, it will come in two editions- Standard Edition and Champions Edition, with the latter also including the game’s first five post-launch seasons on top of the base experience itself.
Courtesy of the leak, some new details have also emerged on WRC 24’s Achievements, which in turn have revealed more about its modes, vehicle building mechanics, and more. Read more on that through here.
