Alright, picture this: Codemasters hit the brakes on their World Rally Championship games. Kinda sad, but hey, it happens, right? They’ve wrapped up with EA Sports WRC, and now they’re stepping away from rally games. I mean, if you were hoping for more VR rally racing, you might need a Plan B. Weird, right? They’ve been dishing out solid stuff like DiRT Rally and its sequel. Those were like, epic in the VR world.
So, yeah, Codemasters said it’s the “end of the road” for now. They’ve been making rally games for, what, over 40 years? Imagine the ride from Paris to Dakar on a ZX Spectrum way back in ’91! Those were some good times, man. Then in ’98, boom! Colin McRae Rally hits and everyone’s talking about it. Over three million sold in Europe? That’s like, wow.
Fast forward, and they’re all about VR — remember DiRT Rally VR in 2016? People called it the “new high watermark” for VR racing. That’s a fancy way of saying it rocked. Now, whether EA’s job cuts nudged Codemasters out the door, who knows? Maybe it’s just timing. Or maybe not. Anyway, news updates will trickle down when they know more.
As for the future? Looks a bit foggy. Maybe Codemasters’ games will somehow get VR love with updates, or maybe not. But here’s the thing: F1 25 is sticking with PC VR, so that’s something. And if anything new pops out of the woods on this, I’ll holler for sure.
