Electronic Arts is ending development of the EA Sports WRC license
, by Thibaut
Following the redundancies at Electronic Arts earlier this week, Codemasters (owned by the American publisher) has announced its intention to halt development on the WRC license.
This means that EA Sports WRC will no longer get any additional content, so the Unbridled Energy content pack that came out in March is the last.
"For now, we are pausing development plans on future rally titles. Rest assured, EA SPORTS WRC will continue to be available for existing and new players. We hope it remains a source of joy, excitement, and the thrill of rally racing. We've poured our hearts into making it for fans, and we know you'll keep the passion alive."
"Our WRC partnership was a culmination of sorts for our Codemasters journey with off-road racing, spanning decades through titles like Colin McRae Rally, and DiRT. We've provided a home for every rally enthusiast, striving tirelessly to push the boundaries and deliver the exhilarating thrill of driving on the ragged edge. We’ve brought together incredibly talented racing developers, worked with some of the sport’s icons, and had the opportunity to share our love of rallying."
Codemasters has also deactivated its X account. It's hard to know what's to come for the studio.
