EA Halts WRC Development | PC Games Insider

Boy, oh boy. So, EA just hit pause on the World Rally Championship thing. Yeah, they posted about it online but? No clue why they decided to chuck the plans out the window. It’s like, “Hey guys, we’re stopping — but just don’t ask us why, okay?” The WRC game is still out there for grabs, though. So that’s something, right?

They said something like, “We’re pausing future rally stuff for now.” Very cryptic, right? But they’re like, “Don’t freak out, you can still play EA Sports WRC. Hope it keeps revving up your engines.” Honestly, it reads like a love letter or something. They even got all sentimental about years spent on this Codemasters journey with stuff like Colin McRae Rally. Talk about going down memory lane, huh? They’ve really mingled with big names and tried pushing limits. Sounds like a bunch of gearhead poetry, if you ask me.

But here’s where it gets murky — nobody really knows what “pause” means here. Like, is it a coffee break or a forever kind of thing? Maybe it’s one of those “we’ll see what happens” deals? The whole saga kicked off when EA bought Codemasters for a cool $1.2 billion in 2022, which is like Monopoly money to them, I guess.

So, no big answers, just a bunch of feels and nostalgia. That’s the scoop, weird as it is.
