This is a sad day for racing fans. Codemaster's games were the perfect balance between simulation and arcade. I wish MS/Turn 10/Playground could somehow acquire them.

Cethin,

The good news is the developers are still alive. Hopefully someone has enough money to spin off a new studio free from EA and makes even better versions.

uawarebrah,

I’ve got to disagree. I won’t pretend the Rally games didn’t have their hay day but F1 has been an abomination for years.

Right, F1 has been rather forgettable. Honestly, their non rally titles are all mediocre at best.

I wish somebody would do a postmortem on the shitshow that is EA WRC, despite having the most beloved rally game dev team and the biggest license in rallying.

Never give EA money - they’ll just use it to destroy yet another cherished dev or franchise.

“But I want…” NO!
“But Star Wa…” NO!
“But Ma…” NO!

Why did Codemasters have to join fucking EA to begin with…

SkunkWorkz,

Money that’s why. Shareholders got $1.2 Billion

Burninator05,

Did something happen in the business world? If yes, it happened because of money. If no, it didn’t happen because if money.

Honestly they should have never been yearly releases. Of course everyone is burnt out on them, and nothing innovate has happened in the rally codemaster games in years. I’m sad this is happening but it’s definitely mismanagement.

sheogorath,

Yep, they should have just put the yearly changes on something like a season pass and timed the major release with the regulation changes to match the simulation engine development.

Burninator05,

Management did exactly what they wanted to do. They released a product with no regard to anything except short term profits. What happens in a year is future thems problem.

I remember thinking when fandom got them “well they can’t be a worse steward than red ventures”

Welp.

This guy sure looks like he gets what nerds want. Eat a dick, Perkins.

Not sure if the nation this game is based on will be recognizable by the time it comes out.

As a PC-only gamer, I suppose this means that I won’t get to play this until late 2027 at the very earliest.

Hang on, they just now announced it, it’s been delayed, and they still plan to launch it next year? This is gonna be a straight up shit show, folks.

Can imagine there may be some story changes with America’s acceleration into fascism.

finitebanjo,

They’re gonna have to have a main cast who is just a literal chimpanzee in a vacation shirt flinging actual shit all the time just to achieve any level of unrealistic over the top satire. The real world is just too ridiculous for anything less to be their usual exaggerated caricature.

I feel like you shouldn’t release a date if the game isn’t in ready for release. After releasing the date, all that should come is polish and minor bug fixing

Wait did they announce a release date or is it delayed? It can’t be both

BubbaGumpsBackLumps,

It’s both

Original window was late 2025 now its may 26, 2026

Original window doesn’t sound like a release date

If I have to sign into a rockstar account through a launcher to play it, I ain’t interested.
