Introduction

Electronic Arts announces garnished with a first trailer EA SPORTS WRC which will be
released on November 3 for PS5 and Xbox Series X. All information can be found in the press release:

Experience the Ultimate Rally Game

Developed by Codemasters, the team behind the DiRT Rally series, with over 25 years of offroad video game
experience EA SPORTS WRC is the first true next-gen rally game and title for racing sim fans.
Preorderers will receive five VIP Rally Passes for access to additional post-launch content, livery and apparel
packs, and up to three days of early access starting October 31, 2023.

The Purest Form of Motorsport

“EA SPORTS WRC is the purest form of motorsport, where each stage is a battle against the clock,
the terrain and yourself,” said Ross Gowing, senior creative director at Codemasters. “This is the rally game we
always wanted to make. It combines the in-depth knowledge and experience of our studio with the power of the
official WRC license, the pinnacle of rally motorsport. The game’s new engine has allowed us to push rallying to
its limits, and additional features like Builder and Moments give players even more ways to interact with the
sport they love.”

Unleash the Power of Unreal Engine

EA SPORTS WRC combines the power of the Unreal Engine with the physics of the DiRT Rally series.
It features longer, more detailed stages than previously possible, with 18 official FIA World Rally Championship
venues and over 600 km of unforgiving asphalt tracks, gravel, and snow stages. The game also features ten current
WRC, WRC2, and Junior WRC cars, as well as 68 of the most iconic rally cars from 60 years of sporting history. In
collaboration with official WRC teams and manufacturers such as Ford, Toyota, and Hyundai, each car is built to
meet all the challenges of the season. The hybrid-powered 4WD Rally1 cars are among the fastest in the history of
the sport, reaching incredible speeds as they navigate gravity-defying jumps, changing surfaces, and inclement
weather.

The Most Realistic Offroad Experience

The advanced Dynamic Handling System refines the original Codemasters model and provides players with the most
realistic offroad experience to date. Feedback from drivers, including former FIA Junior WRC title contender and
2023 FIA European Rally Championship ERC3 champion and game designer Jon Armstrong, allows fans to choose a
professional driver lineup that reflects the experiences drivers have each week of racing. New players can
personalize driving and make adjustments that help them overcome the ultimate offroad challenge between player
and environment. The realism extends to the audio too: each car is faithfully recreated, and the new Pace Notes,
including simplified commands for novice drivers, provide much-needed information.

Fulfill Your Dream with “Builder”

The introduction of “Builder” fulfills the dream of anyone who desires to build their own modern rally car. The
chassis, body, and main mechanical parts can be selected before customizing the interior and exterior and finally
customizing with the livery editor. Players can test the car and make the necessary adjustments before competing
for the World Championship against the best competition in the WRC.

Connect and Compete with the Rally Community

EA SPORTS WRC brings fans together with 32-player cross-platform multiplayer, allowing for
competition between friends and the wider rally community. Powered by EA Racenet, EA’s racing app, clubs act as
community hubs offering custom rallied tournaments anytime, anywhere. In addition to personalized events,
Moments, which are updated daily in-game, offer the opportunity to relive pivotal scenarios from the 2023 season,
as well as classic events from the sport’s archives.

Preorder and Get Exclusive Benefits

All preorders from EA SPORTS WRC starting October 31, 2023, you’ll receive up to three days of
Early Access and five VIP Passes, each with additional post-launch content, makeup packs with wraps, and
clothing.
