Back in the early 1980s, Rally fans were introduced to Group B rally class, where cars had huge amounts of power, even by today’s standards. But they had none of the safety features nor advanced technology, which meant that there were a lot of crashes and fatalities, and Group B rally was quickly banned. However, rally fans remember its infamy and with Dirt 3, they’ll be able to relive those crazy Group B racing moments, as Dirt 3 will feature Group B rally — the first rally game to do so.
Dirt 3 is the third installment in Codemasters’ rally series reboot, after Colin McRae rally ended its reign. Dirt 3 is set for release May 24 on the PC, Xbox 360 and PS3. For the first time, “Colin McRae” has been removed from the title, so the game is simply called Dirt 3. In addition to Rally, the game will support motorcross, buggies and truck racing as well.
The third installment in Codemasters’ excellent rally series, Dirt, has been pinned to a May 24 released date, where it’ll find its way to the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.
To mark the occasion, they’ve released a new screenshot, which you can see above. That’s it, Codemaster? All we get is a screenshot? No trailer? No teasers? Hmm. I guess it’ll have to do for now.
It’s been quite some time since Dirt 2 was released so it would only make sense that Codemasters was working on a sequel. However, up until now we didn’t hear anything about it. Now, Codemaster’s VP Gavin Cheshire sat down for an interview with Edge and said the following, “there’s some really great stuff coming from Birmingham that’s going into Dirt 3.” As you can see, he didn’t even really announce it he just casually mentioned it like we all already knew it was coming.
