Thinking more on the sudden, very gutting, cancellation of #EASportsWRC by EA, it would seem to me that with the stage design changes in the new DLC - how dirt and snow mounds respond to contact, and the light bouncing off snow, I think it's likely we'll find out new stuff was being developed, and maybe even started for the game before it would seem probably very recently the stop was put on it.

Maybe the decision occurred during the DLCs and they kept it silent while releasing it, but they could have just added cars and be done without any new stages at all if it was, so it feels like there will be 'lost content' people will eventually find out about.

Also, I do like the idea going around that iRacing might be the new developer the WRC works with - when looking at the other rally developers in the recent past - but we still haven't seen what their NASCAR game will actually feel and race like to judge what they could do with a dirt-based game.

Very disappointed is an understatement reading that EA and Codemasters have decided to call it quits to EA Sports WRC with two years of the contract left, and all rally design to be rested.

I was hoping to see - and made videos on it - the three 'missing' cars and the real-life Rally GT cars return. And after the most recent DLCs, more new real-to-life stages (like the full Ouninpohja). Then the new 2025 rallies.

But now it's all over with. And we have to hope someone new will create a game with these cars and real-to-life stages, with similar physics. So not KT Games.

All those hopes gone. If Forza Horizon 6 isn't in Japan too, I think I'll stop dreaming.
