While SMS is unlikely, having just been acquired in late 2019, Codemasters Evo’s ill-fated OnRush saw a wave of layoffs and the team reportedly being redirected to a supporting role and less risky game propositions. This could see them returning to their rallying roots – they created the WRC series during the PS2 era – whether as lead developer or as backup to the team in Southam. Whoever is working on it, this is sure to be keenly watched by Dirt fans. Codemasters say “we’re incredibly excited about what’s around the corner” and this could easily be leading toward an announcement in the coming weeks. Microsoft are hosting an Xbox Series X game showcase this week, and Sony will surely have something similar lined up for PlayStation 5 as well, both of which would be ideal venues for a Dirt announcement.ĭon’t worry about Dirt Rally and sim rallying, though. ![]() Completes Acquisition of Codemasters Group Holdings plc (Graphic: Business Wire) #PROJECT CARS VS DIRT RALLY SERIES#Ĭodies say “We have big plans, driven by a passionate development team, solely tasked with taking the Rally series to even greater heights.
