Dirt Rally 2.0 is a racing video game developed and published by Codemasters for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. It will be released in February 2019.[1] The game is the thirteenth title in the Colin McRae Rally series and the seventh title to carry the Dirt name. It is a successor to the 2015 video game Dirt Rally and emphasises realistic driving physics.
These are definitely necessary, as the game now also features a new weather modelling system where changes in the weather affect the relative level of grip and require players to take a more nuanced approach to driving. The weather also affects visibility in stages. The surface of the stages is also subject to degradation; as more cars pass over a stage, more than 100 layers ensure that the road surface will start to shift and break up, affecting grip levels. The gameplay therefore demands maximum concentration, especially as some tracks take more than 10 minutes to complete. There is no rewind function and damages not only have a visual but also mechanical effect
The “My Team” mode introduced in Dirt 4 is expanded upon, requiring players to hire specialist engineers to maintain the car. Damage sustained during a rally carries over from event to event. Players are also able to make a wider range of strategic choices, such as tyre compounds; softer tyres offer more grip but wear out faster, while harder tyres are more durable but produce slower stage times. Codemasters is planning to introduce a more comprehensive tutorial for setting up the car to make the process more accessible for newcomers, amateurs and players who have been deterred from exploring setup options in the past.
