DiRT Rally 2.0 Season One DLC PS4 PlayStation 4

Codemasters has released new details on the first season of DLC for its excellent offroad racer, DiRT Rally 2.0. Beginning later this month, Season One promises a decent amount of new content, including cars, rally events, and more.

It all gets started on 12th March, when players with access to the Deluxe Edition content will get two cars: Škoda Fabia Rally, and Citroën C4 Rally. On 26th March, the Monte Carlo Rally will be added to the range of rally championships, bringing snowy conditions to the game for the first time. Over the following weeks, Swedish and German rallies will be added, and a handful of extra cars will be thrown into the mix: BMW M1 Procar Rally, Open Manta 400, Ford Focus RS Rally 2007, and Subaru Impreza.

Season Two will feature a similar amount of new stuff, so it seems like DiRT Rally 2.0 will be getting plenty of additions for quite some time. Are you looking forward to the DLC coming to the game? Don't cut in the comments below.

I should point out, however, that these new events are taken from the first DiRT Rally game, but with enhances visuals, so not really entirely new content. It's nice that we can play all the events from the first game in here, but charging people an extra £21 to have this older content is really pushing it.

Agree. Really liking the game but this contens shouldn't be chargeable as it really should already be in the game pre launch or added for free post launch. I will no doubt get it tho as the game is great and I don't mind supporting great games as long as the doc isn't Dead or alive price.

@Kidfunkadelic83 Yeah, I'm really loving the game as well.

Do you or anyone else know if they'll be folding all the DLC content into the career mode?

I'm only after the "new" locations and tracks. I mean the cars are great and all, but in this series you spend more time with each car, so I don't really need a huge selection of vehicles.

Season One will focus on rally, and will add three locations: Monte Carlo, Sweden, and Germany. All expected, more or less.

@Jake3103 That seems to be the case. From their blogpost:
'Monte Carlo Rally and other returning classic rally environments Germany and Sweden benefit from a significant visual uplift since the first DiRT Rally®. The new lighting system combined with improvements to the track materials, foliage and character models bring the locations to life even more' (http://blog.codemasters.com/community/02/seasonone-dr2/)

So while it's mainly a visual remake, the post does mention "improvements to the track material". So racing on them should feel somewhat different form the first game.
