DiRT® 4™ CRASHES ONTO CONSOLES ON JUNE 6: BIGGER, BOLDER & BETTER THAN EVER BEFORE

THE MULTI-MILLION BEST-SELLING OFF-ROAD FRANCHISE RETURNS WITH BUGGIES, TRUCKS, RALLY, RALLYCROSS AND A GAME CHANGER FOR RACING

Codemasters & Deep Silver today announced that DiRT® 4™ will fearlessly race to the PlayStation® 4 computer entertainment system, Xbox One, the all-in-one entertainment system from Microsoft, and Windows PC on June 6, 2017. Hot on the heels of 2016’s critically and commercially successful DiRT Rally®, DiRT 4 takes the passion and authenticity of off-road racing to the next level and also reintroduces gamers to white knuckle truck and buggy racing in Landrush. You can watch the announcement trailer now at http://www.dirt4game.com.

DiRT 4 sports an all-new system called Your Stage; an innovative rally route creation tool that allows you to produce a near infinite number of unique stages at the touch of a button. Choosing your location and setting the route parameters , Your Stage does the hard work to create a unique rally stage that you can race, share with your friends and then challenge them to beat your time. Your Stage allows experienced rally players to create longer, more technical routes, whilst newcomers can create simpler shorter routes as they hone their skills.

Globally renowned for delivering premium quality, authentic and fun racing games, Codemasters is once more bringing its talent and experience to the world of off-road driving. With DiRT 4, the team have sought to combine the levels of thrill and realism from last year’s DiRT Rally with the fearless excitement, accessibility and adrenalin-fueled contests previously seen in its critically acclaimed prequels DiRT 2 and DiRT 3.

Featuring classic rally racing that continues to build on the foundations set by the Colin McRae Rally games, the bruising contests from the official FIA World Rallycross Championship, the crazy battles of racing trucks and buggies, and the outrageous fun of open events in Joyride, players will face the challenges from as far apart as Australia, Spain and California in a truly global sport.

DiRT 4 challenges you to “Be Fearless” by capturing the thrill, emotion and passion of off-road racing. It recreates the heady mix of adrenalin and fear that comes from powering around a blind bend and the rush you feel going for a last ditch overtake when there’s not enough room on the final lap of a race. Off-road racing is about more than perfect cornering, it’s about heart-pounding, split-section decision making where bravery brings reward.

Yup. DiRT Rally released for consoles in April 2016 and was on PC beginning in late 2014 with a full release in 2015. DR was more or less an advanced beta (a gamma? ) or as Codies said, a test bed for their new engine, physics, etc and one avenue to fully fund the next true game in the series.

I'm pretty excited to see the new game but I'm hanging on to DR too since it has a few locations not looking to be present in 4. They should compliment each other nicely...but I suppose DR will go silent on the official support and community onlines fronts and of course in multiplayer.

Looking forward to seeing this "my stage" feature in action, amongst other things.

Dirt Rally seemed like such a limited experience, and I guess it truly was a step towards Codemasters releasing a full fledged title for current gen. I put so many hours into Dirt 2 on PS3, so naturally I'm excited for June.
