Showdown is simply a branching out of the series to satisfy those looking for a destructive environment in the DiRT realm. It’s about pushing flat out next to a sheer cliff drop. DiRT 4 is currently under development and will continue the series commitment to simulated rally and off road racing. And more than that, it’s about loving that feeling. It’s about the thrill, exhilaration and adrenaline that is absolutely vital to off-road racing. 'Dirt Showdown is offering a new and more focused experience within the series and Dirt 4, or whatever we call it, will bring that same focus to some of the more traditional elements of the series,' he continued. DiRT 4 is all about embracing that danger. that will return in a future game for sure.'īut this doesn’t mean the studio is done with pure-bred rally experiences, as the possible Dirt 4 will return to simulator-type gameplay.

However, this doesn't mean the more authentic rally content is disappearing from the Dirt series. We boiled down some of that thrill-seeking formula into what makes Dirt Showdown. 'We've focused on what those core experiences were - one a 'hardcore', motorsports experience and one for thrill-seekers. “Through our game data analysis, as well as reading the game's critical reception, we found that Dirt 3 had been offering two experiences: the pure rally and gymkhana.'Īs such, the studio decided that it’s time for the Dirt series to spawn a spinoff, in the form of Dirt Showdown, which delivers just adrenaline-filled experiences for those that want more style and less simulation. 'At the end of each project we try to digest as much as possible about the players' experiences,” Smith told CVG.

The Dirt series delighted fans with some of the most realistic rallying experiences in the genre, adding glorious visuals effects as well as all sorts of new things, like the Gymkhana competitions in the most recent Dirt 3.Īccording to Codemasters’ associate producer, Iain Smith, Dirt 3 spawned some rather interesting data for the studio, which made it re-evaluate the series.

Codemasters just announced the peculiar Dirt Showdown game, which focuses on intense racing, demolition derbies and Gymkhana stunt events, but this doesn’t meant that the developer is walking away from pure rally experiences, as its next installment will once again follow that traditional recipe.
