Codemasters have revealed the next wave of content heading to DiRT Rally 2.0.


Headlined as the 'Season Three & Four' DLC expansion packs, the latest batch of post-release content heading to DiRT Rally 2.0 represents a fine mix of old and new, with both the traditional point-to-point rally stages and the FIA World Rallycross Championship set to be well represented within the game.

Season Three will begin from August 27th and is set to contain the returning and refreshed rally events in Greece and Finland, plus the debut of the Yas Marina WRX venue alongside the usual mix of new cars and liveries - details of which can be seen below.

  • Week 1: SUBARU Impreza (2001), Ford Focus RS Rally 2001
  • Week 3: Argolis Greece, Special Livery Pack
  • Week 5: Peugeot 306 Maxi, Seat Ibiza Kit Car
  • Week 7: Yas Marina Circuit, Abu Dhabi, Special Livery Pack
  • Week 9: Peugeot 206 Rally, Volkswagen Golf Kitcar
  • Week 11: Jämsä Finland, Special Livery Pack

Once all that new content has dropped, Season Four will begin on November 19th and looks set to heavily focus on the World Rallycross portion of the title, we a new venue based in South Africa joining up with the returning and popular Lydden Hill circuit.

  • Week 1: Killarney International Raceway, South Africa
  • Week 3: Lydden Hill, UK, Special Livery Pack
  • Week 5: Renault Clio R.S. RX, Renault Megane R.S. RX, Ford Fiesta Rallycross (MK8), Special Livery Pack

“It’s been six months since we launched DiRT Rally 2.0 and the response from our community has been really positive,” said Ross Gowing, DiRT Rally 2.0 Game Director at Codemasters. “We spend a lot of time listening to our players and we’re delighted to bring them remastered classics alongside new vehicles and locations to give them a completely new experience.

Seasons Three and Four are a perfect blend of classic and new with the likes of Greece and Finland which were established on the original DiRT Rally, through to new RX circuits in Abu Dhabi and South Africa. There is so much variety that will appeal to old and new players alike. We’re also delighted to update the FIA World Rallycross Championship with new 2019 vehicles as well as bodywork and livery updates.”

Players will have the opportunity to purchase Seasons Three and Four and each piece of content separately on their digital store of choice.


DiRT 2.0 is available for Xbox One, PS4 and PC now.

Isn't paying for Spa or Audi R8 GT3 again in ACC from AC the same thing as paying for Jamsa Finland again in Dirt Rally 2?
No, it really is not the same. There is a pretty big difference between having the same real-world tracks in a circuit racing game as opposed to rally game. In circuit racing you memorize the track so knowing the track is the opposite of a problem. In rally you are supposed to rely on your co-driver, a key aspect of rallying which goes down the toilet when you have played a stage to death and know it from memory. That is why Codies should be making new stages rather than re-selling old ones. Though they won't since for some reason players are happy to re-buy DR1 stages.

Also the cars and tracks in ACC are not ported from AC, they are completely re-made for a new game. The DR2 stages are ported from DR1 with some small updates. Try to understand the difference between the same virtual content, and an entirely new creation of the same real-life content.

A third reason why it's not the same is that in ACC the content "shared" with AC is in the base game, in Dirt Rally 2.0 it's paid DLC.

Maybe there are some people who enjoy it to drive the "old" tracks from DiRT Rally.

Perhaps Codemaster should have integrated the old stages as a gift / free bonus but I can understand their decision to make it a paid DLC as nobody of us knwos how many hours went into the re-creation/conversion of these tracks.

If the 6 DR1 locations was part of the vanilla game you would all be bitchin' about that as well, wouldn't you? Now they made it optional DLC for those who want it. If you don't want it, don't buy it.

This is the part I don't get. Why should we be entitled to have all the stages of the previous game? There are no set calendar as opposed to something like F1. DR isn't simulating a real life series. They can pick rallies as they choose and the picked 6 new ones for DR2.
Somehow, people feel entitled and demand that the stages from the previous game should be included in the sequel. Why should they? Should I rave about that I want the all the locations of The Last of Us in The Last of Us 2?

Somehow people also seem to think that if they didn't rework the DR1 stages that would magically mean that they could have done 6 scratch made rallies instead. Sure there's lots of work gone in to remodel the stages, but nowhere near the amount of work to do new ones.

Sure there are, but it kind of begs the question why they should pay extra money for something most DR2 players already bought. Also it's that they are re-selling DR1 stages INSTEAD OF making new ones. The option to buy DLC with new rally stages does not exist. A massive amount of DLC containing precisely 0 new rally stages, that is pretty sad. No one thinks they have to make 6 all-new rally locations for DLC, but there really should be at least some new stages.

Funny how those supporting re-buying DR1 stages praise Codies for their gargantuan effort updating the stages. I have even seen someone using the word "remastered".

If the 6 DR1 locations was part of the vanilla game you would all be bitchin' about that as well, wouldn't you? Now they made it optional DLC for those who want it. If you don't want it, don't buy it.
Wow, you are really intelligent aren't you. Thanks for the insight.

A few new stages and cars would have been a breath of fresh air. The new dlc cars are not even worth getting excited for because they don't allow us to create livery's for them. The only people happy with the content have had to desperately convince themselves which I give up doing at this point
 
If the "experience of virtual driving with a wheel" had been better, I will be really happy about this news.

I bought the "Deluxe version" on DVD before the release (I know, It's ridiculous today, this is the last time !^^) and I will care if some big issues had been cured but It's actually not the case.

I got some "trouble" when Codemasters deliver to us the Monte-Carlo (which I Love) but snow without inertia and tyre slipping... well !
After Sweden without good improvments for the wheel users... well !

I'm not here with some warriors but I wanna just explain why I don't really care about Season3 and Season 4 actually.
Maybe a change will make my (and your) experience better but unfortunately I still in doubt..!

Cheers. ;-)
