“Elimination of a period” is an over -used clutch, but in this case it is perfectly appropriate. Electronic Arts announces that EA Sports WRC’s 2024 Seasons It will lastAnd that the Code Masters Team “has reached the end of the road working on the WRC.”
The message said, “For now, we are stopping development projects on future rally titles.” Assurance, EA Sports WRC will be available to current and new players. We hope that this is a source of excitement, excitement and rally racing. We have put our hearts to make it make fans make, and we know that you will keep this sentiment alive. “
Reling is a relatively niche motor supplement (and please don’t send me emails to complain about it, okay, I know) And so the rally video games are not at all FIFA -scale efforts.
But they represent a very large and important part of the history of the Code Masters, which begins with the Colin McCary Rally in 1998 and the series of dirt – extraordinary Colin Macri: Dirt – Regularly produced through the release that was wrapped in 2020.
That same year, the Code Masters got special rights to produce the FIA World Rally Championship video games, but then in 2021, the electronic arts obtained the Code Master. The EA said before the completion of the deal that the purchase would enable it to become a “global leader in racing entertainment”, but since then it has been a difficult ride. In 2022, the EA eliminated the Racing Series of Code Masters Project Cars, and in 2023 it placed an unlawful number of employees in the studio.
Now, with the table, it seems that the code masters will focus especially on the F -One Racing Games: the latest increase in this regard, the F1 25, ending May 30. But when it is useless that Kodiz is going away from a nearly 30 -year history of making rally games, the good news for the rally fans is that someone else is sitting.
“In the past three years, the WRC has been reached another level in the Gaming World thanks to the dedication of EA sports and code masters,” the body -approved body FIA said in a joint message. X. “Now, our WRC gaming franchise is moving in a new direction with more news in the near future.”
So this is definitely the end of an era, but at least this is not the end – and we may eventually see the Richard Burns Rally’s return for which PC Gamer’s auxiliary Phil Avanik has helped it.
