The fast and the filthy
It’s been six years sinceDiRT 3was released, but earlier todayCodemasters announced a new sequel in theDiRTfranchisewill be coming to the PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 in June of this year. The game’s theme is “Be Fearless,” and it sounds like the developer wants to put more of an emphasis on rewarding risky behavior than previous titles have featured.
PriorDiRTgames have focused on rally races rather than doing laps around a circuit, although you can also blaze your own trails in some modes. BothDiRT Showdownand a title from Codemasters’ other racing franchise,GRIDhave been made available as free downloads recently, possibly as a way to promote familiarity with the franchise. TheDiRTgames are very well regarded, butForza Horizon 3did provide players with beautiful open terrain to drive across late last year. There’s not much gameplay shown in the trailer, so we’ll have to wait and see howDiRT 4shapes up ahead of its launch in June.
