Just like that, DiRT Rally 2.0 has been announced for PlayStation 4, as became obvious yesterday. This is a direct follow up to the more simulation-focused offshoot of the DiRT series. It'll feature locations like New Zealand, Argentina, Spain, Poland, Australia, and the USA, and it sounds just as hardcore as the first game.

As you might imagine, it'll feature regular rally as well as officially licensed Rallycross events across an in-depth career mode, as well as online multiplayer. There's not a whole lot of information to go on just yet, but the last couple of DiRT games have been very strong indeed, so we're pretty excited for this one.

What's more, Codemasters has already pencilled in a release date. You'll be laying down tracks and kicking up dust on 26th February 2019. Are you excited for DiRT Rally 2.0? Don't forget your seatbelt in the comments below.
