DIRT 5 Career Mode Revealed
POSTED June 18, 2020
Codemasters today goes under the hood of DIRT 5 with a brand-new trailer focusing on its epic Career mode. DIRT 5 releases from 9 October on the current generation of Xbox and PlayStation consoles, Windows PC. Later for Xbox X series and Play Station 5.
DIRT 5’s Career mode focuses on the highly successful ‘DIRT Series’: a global racing event across various disciplines, featuring the world’s greatest off-road racers. The player starts their fledgling career going up against an established field.
In career mode, our talent draws the attention of off-road superstar Alex Janiček, better known as AJ. However, you are not the only runner who is causing a sensation. This is where Bruno Durand, the ultra-competitive, calculated veteran, comes in.
The career is tied together with the help of James Pumphrey and Nolan Sykes from racing enthusiasts and YouTube sensations, Donut Media. The entire story comes to life via the ‘DIRT Podcast by Donut Media’ featuring special guests including current W Series World Champion, Jamie Chadwick and YouTube star, SLAPTrain.
Career mode is divided into five chapters, offering multiple paths allowing players to choose the events they wish to play. The higher the finish, the more Stamps the player earns, which are needed to unlock the Main Event.
The highly competitive final challenge is all that’s standing in the player’s way to proceed to the next chapter. Also dotted throughout are one-off Throwdown challenges. Once unlocked, players face the ultimate one-on-one challenge against a fierce competitor from the world circuit.
The world tour takes players across the globe from the US to China and beyond. With real-world global brands waiting to sign fresh talent, there are plenty of in-game rewards on offer based on performance and reputation rank. DIRT 5’s Career also allows for couch-play support for up to four players.
