Rally is an insane motorsport, with powerful cars hurtling down loose surface roads and narrow pathways, often lined with trees, buildings, and fate-tempting spectators. Rally games these days capture that energy very well, and EA Sports WRC looks to be no exception, judging by this new gameplay video.
In it, we see a trio of cars on three different stages. It highlights the variety of the environments, with stages changing depending on the season, and shows the action from various different camera perspectives. Our main takeaway is that this looks exactly how we expected it to — it very much resembles DiRT Rally 2.0, only with official cars and branding. Obviously we'll need to get our hands on it to see how it really plays, but screaming down narrow tracks looks to be just as terrifying here.
This seems to be shaping up really nicely from where we're sitting, but what do you think? Are you excited for EA Sports WRC? Fasten your seatbelts in the comments section below.

Looks incredible but as always it's how it actually plays that counts.
Looking forward to finding out
I thought this looked really bad. Then I realised I was watching the video in 480p. What a melon. 😂
Well it's Codemasters' DiRT Rally so it's definitely going to shape up nice, people should constantly be reminded of that and not just slap EA Sports on it.
This one's getting VR support, but on PC only. Sony should put some pressure or alternatively a little cash on EA for a PSVR2 version, because Rally in VR is just amazing!
@TheArt yes its codies dirt rally featuring EA's micro's and loot boxes...
looks the same as always, same graphics, gameplay, same style of icons.
3 years old DIRT 5 looks better than this...what happened??
Dirt 5 and WRC Generations will do me i think, until i see EA's full dastardly plans (sorry...roadmap)
@Smiffy01 WRC Generations is the dogs bollocks.
@Number09 Aye quite enjoying it 👍
Looks great but will likely be DOA for me personally due to the monetization schemes that are almost guaranteed to be baked into its design.
If you compare it with Dirt Rally 2.0, it looks extremely worse! Look at the rain effects! Look at the cars! I hope the gameplay makes up the underwelming graphics. (I watched the 4k video btw)
@KundaliniRising333 yeah its going to be infested with them. I love my pga game but damn those micro transactions take the piss. The cost of those upgrades in the game that you can use your tokens that you earn are mental. Its designed in a way that makes you want to just break out your bank card once you realise its going to take forever to amass the amount you need. This ruined the game to a certain degree for me and i can see this game using the same method. Its a pass for me i'm afraid.
The more i look at this gameplay footage the more i am regretting my preorder. It is obvious that Codemasters used UE 4 and not 5. There are so many things wrong with the looks (rain, shadows almost non aparent in cockpit view, roads look bland, snow looks very artificial. But my biggest worry is the handling. Big jumps with almost no impact? Heavy rain with extreme grip? Look at heavy rain in 2.0 and compair! OMG
