On top of looking pretty sweet, Codies' DiRT Rally is also going to come packaged with what appears to be a robust and dynamic multiplayer offering which includes, among much more, new daily, weekly and monthly challenges.

Whether it’s taking part in online events creating or joining leagues, climbing the global leaderboards or taking part in multiplayer FIA World Rallycross racing, competition lies at the heart of DiRT Rally experience.

DiRT Rally allows gamers to take to the track in exclusive officially licensed FIA World Rallycross multiplayer races, where up to eight players can experience the breathless thrills of bumper-to-bumper racing in some of the world’s fastest off-road cars.

DiRT Rally’s online events, meanwhile, are one-shot chances for players to test themselves against the best drivers in the world and claim bragging rights as well as in-game currency. Daily Events require nailing a stage selected by the DiRT team - mess up and the opportunity is lost. The Weekly Events, meanwhile, require players to complete all available stages in a rally location, while Monthly Events are a marathon-like test of endurance and skill over 24 stages. Only the brave need apply.

Players can also take advantage of DiRT Rally’s league system to compete with their friends and rivals. Hosted on dirtgame.com, gamers can create their own leagues or join one of the thousands already created by the vibrant DiRT community. League events are fully customisable and there is no restriction on the number of leagues each player can be a member of, so there’s never a lack of a fresh challenge in DiRT Rally.

DiRT Rally is now available on Steam and will be powersliding onto PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on April 8th 2016.

Is this classic revival something you could see yourself sinking your precious gaming time into?
