New Content Rolls In for EA SPORTS WRC: 2024 Season Expansion and DLC Packs
It’s official: EA SPORTS WRC fans have plenty to look forward to as the game announces its 2024 season expansion along with two upcoming downloadable content (DLC) packs. Here’s a sneak peek into what’s coming down the road.
EA SPORTS WRC Sets the Stage for Fresh Content
Since its release nearly nine months ago, followed by the opening round of the World Rally Championship (WRC) seven months ago, EA SPORTS WRC has kept players engaged, but now, big changes are on the horizon. A free update in December introduced the Central European Rally stages, and virtual reality support was added back in April. Now, fans can look forward to even more thrilling updates starting this October.
What to Expect from the 2024 Season Expansion
This October, the new 2024 season expansion will bring official driver and co-driver line-ups, complete with fresh liveries for the upcoming WRC season. The expansion promises new rally stages, high-performance cars, and exciting cosmetic upgrades.
Among the anticipated additions are Rally Poland and Rally Latvia—two events newly added to the real-world WRC calendar alongside the Toyota GR Yaris Rally2 in the WRC2 category.
Those who purchase the 2024 season expansion will also receive two additional DLC packs. The first pack is set to drop in winter 2024/25, and the second in spring 2025. These packs will include even more cars, rally stages, and unique challenges.
The Future of EA SPORTS WRC
For those who prefer a bundled deal, October will also see the release of the EA SPORTS WRC 2024 Season Edition, which includes the base game and the new 2024 season expansion. If you opt for this edition, you’ll be eligible to receive the upcoming DLC packs at no extra cost.
The specifics of these DLC packs are still under wraps, but they promise new cars, rally stages, and additional challenges. As a live-service platform, EA SPORTS WRC continues to grow, fostering a passionate player base eagerly awaiting fresh content.
Season 6 Rally Pass and the Esports Series
One more exciting update: Season 6 of the Rally Pass system launches on July 30th. This pass will come with a variety of rewards, including unlockable liveries and other cosmetics that span across different vehicle classes, not just those in WRC.
The new season of the Rally Pass is designed to be more user-friendly, taking community feedback into account. Players can earn liveries for multiple car classes, enrich their collection, and showcase their personalized cars in online events.
The EA SPORTS WRC team is also getting ready to jumpstart their new esports series. This competition will use an in-game qualifying system to scout participants, leading to an in-person final where the best players will compete for the title of esports WRC World Champion. RaceNet will host the online qualifiers, but specifics on event dates and formats are yet to be announced.
Getting Ready for a New Year of Thrilling Rallies
As fans, we can expect exciting months ahead for EA SPORTS WRC. The 2024 season expansion, set for October, is a game-changer that aligns the virtual experience with real-world motorsport events. Players can look forward to two immersive DLC packs that will extend their rallying adventures well into 2025.
With the expansion and continued support through the Rally Pass and esports events, EA SPORTS WRC is set to keep players engaged and eager for the next stage. Until then, we can gear up and get ready to hit the virtual tracks with renewed excitement and fresh content.
