DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

Enlighten us about everything!

I’m wondering if today could have been a press day maybe to preview the new game? Something must have been going on for Jon’s instagram post.

whatever it is, I’m pretty sure we will know about it within the next few days/weeks!

They might just have been serving kebab pizza for lunch at the office?

Would they invite the press in before any sort of announcement? Maybe it's polish up day for the teaser. Bloody hope so. Bout time we got our reward!

Yeah that’s quite common, videogamer were in to play dirt rally before it was announced, that was you have press releases ready as soon as the announcement goes live.

press is almost always brought in ahead of time, then embargoed until a certain date.  Sometimes because every media outlet gets thier fair chance to look at it before reporting.

[Rallystu2 715]

Fair enough. However Jon's insta post doesn't really give anything away and may be, yet another deception play or just another day in the office. What's his role?


That being said, Christina's gone n had 'a good day'  on the old tweet box. This is torturous

Interesting, can’t work out what this could be about?

[VirtuaIceMan 92]

It could be that they went to see/record/try out some WRX cars, it could be someone special came in to play the game, who knows lol

[JorritVD 1,236]

Or a celebration of something ?? hype hype hype

Red Bull Media House are the promoters for the WRC. 

WRC LICENSE CONFIRMED. 

[Rallystu2 715]

What? Who? How? Please explain? Might it not just be a bar with redbull p.o.s?

[JorritVD 1,236]

I think it is the Red Bull gaming sphere in London, which would mean they could have had a day with the media.

[Fedemaisonnave 48]

That place is named Red Bull Gaming Sphere in London

Red Bull Gaming Sphere London

2 Chance St, London E1 6JT, Reino Unido

Nice. Doesn't confirm wrc content but at least suggests imminent announcement of a new product. Cheeky ol' dogs

Nice find! I think this was definitely press/media day for the new game then, which means we will be very close to an announcement! There will be a press embargo, but some lucky people have already played it!

How? This is the DiRTy Gossip thread. Reason has no place here. Blind leaps to sweeping conclusions via the vaguest shred of evidence. That's how we roll. 

[VirtuaIceMan 92]

Or it was selected guests trying the game. Doesn't necessarily mean the media. But something's definitely happening!

[JorritVD 1,236]

My expectation, Thursday an announcement, and Friday possible live session on social media.

[Oscar97 25]

If the press got their hands on the game today, there probably won't be an announcement before Monday, as they need time to write about the game.

No I think that might be too soon, could be wrong, but I think there would normally be a bit longer to allow the press to get their write ups sorted. I reckon next week

[bogani 756]

Maybe something at Rally Day this weekend?

That's interesting... I mean, Red Bull sponsors lots of different teams in motorsports, but the WRX is officially supported by Monster Energy which is one of their competitors, so would an officially licensed game be welcome in a Red Bull event?

Evrry time I see a clip of WRX it seems the majority of cars are sponsored by Red Bull.

Red Bull's gaming site also has plenty of content about the last two games.

Yep, but FIA WRX and Petter Solberg doesnt, so it isnt a Complete Solberg game (thanks god) also it isnt a standalone WRX game (thanks god x2)
