EA Sports WRC, WRC 24, WRC 23
Release Date: November 3, 2023
EA Sports WRC is the first officially licensed WRC rally simulator by Codemasters. It's an unofficial sequel to the DiRT Rally series, being just as realistic.
EA Sports WRC (or simply WRC) is an informal sequel to Formula 1, to their portfolio.
Since the game was built on the foundations of DiRT Rally, it makes use of its mechanics, such as advanced physics and a large roster of cars from different ages of rallying. According to the creators, it is the most realistic rally simulator they have ever created - though its "dynamic driving system", many different options and assists make it suitable for less experienced players as well.
An important novelty is the designer mode, which lets us design our own car from scratch, choose the body, the engine, customize many different external and internal details, and the color. We can then use our machine to race in WRC, WRC2 and Junior WRC class races.
There are over 18 locations to race at, 200 special stages with the total length of over 600 kilometers, with roads of different kinds. The game features areas from the current WRC season and some past ones.
There are 78 rally cars to choose from - 10 current models with authentic teams, drivers and colors (in Rally1, WRC2 and Junior WRC classes) and 68 other famous vehicles, such as the 1990s kit cars.
Aside from singleplayer modes, including the career mode, there's also cross-platform online multiplayer for up to 32 people. The game features tournaments and special challenges recreating current or historical events from real rally races.
Codemasters have abandoned their Ego technology known from their previous rally simulators - EA Sports WRC instead makes use of the Unreal Engine. According to the developers, this let them create longer, more detailed tracks.

Series DiRT is the direct successor to the series Colin McRae Rally, launched in 1998 by Codemasters. When in 2004 the series' patron Colin McRae abandoned WRC racing in favor of the Dakar Rally and the X-Games series, the developers decided to change the direction of its development, enriching the game with off-road rallies and increasing the range of available vehicles to include off-road cars, trucks and rovers. The new game also received a significant name DiRT.
EA WRC Review - DiRT Rally Has New Name and Unexpected Issues
Raised on foundations of excellent DiRT Rally series, WRC seemed certain contender to the title of the racing game of the year, after disappointing launch of Forza Motorsport. Sadly, what Codemasters released is another troubled title in need of patching.

The plague of layoffs has not spared Codemasters. EA has vowed that the downsizing is minor, but the lack of commercial success of F1 23 and EA Sports WRC does not bode well for the future.

Going all-in on realism, with the high level of difficulty that entails, Codemasters has outdone itself with EA Sports WRC, delivering a stern rally racing challenge that pulls absolutely no punches. If you've got the minerals, then this is the rally game for you.
VG247: 4 / 5 by Mark Warren
That said, the most important thing about EA Sports WRC is that I’m pretty sure I’ll get addicted to the moments its recreation of rallying can provide across its plethora of modes. As with Dirt Rally 2.0, it’s those simple, brief moments when you get into a perfect adrenaline-fuelled flow and feel - just for a second - like you are as good as Colin McRae, that’ll keep me coming back for more, no matter how many trees I hit in between them. I'm pleased and relieved to report that post-acquisition Codemasters still understands what makes a good rally game tick.
