The DLC Season Structure - Place your bets!

Recommended Posts

So, now we've seen a glimpse of all new 6 Locations in DR2.
(I'm very dissapointed to see USA being autumn Michigan again and not Sno*Drift or something in the Rockies... especially now that we have (awesome looking) Poland. I can 'understand' it, from a marketing decision standpoint, since it reaches some US-market involvement for people and since they already had most resources from D4, but I do not like it. Will be my least favorite Rally by a long shot, I predict. Anyway, Poland looks absolutely amazing! I think Argentina and Poland will be my new favorites.)

Let's now place some bets, how the "3 locations per DLC" will play out for the first two seasons. At least I'm now 90% positive, that Sweden will be included in one of them.

Further info: It's all surely decided by now. Up from Season 3 it's unclear, so this is only prediction for the first two. All 6 DR Rallies can be ruled out, as they said the locations will be "split" between RX and Rally.If split means evenly, we don't now. They also mentions "returning fan-favorites", so it's almost certain that both DLC include at least 1 old DR Rally location.

Considering the game will be missing 4 RX tracks, I think there's going to be two tracks per DLC, and the third location will be a rally. But I don't think they're both going to be a DR rally, as that would really suck. Anyway, there's no option for what I believe, so the first option will have to do...

The only realistic one I see here is the first option. They will want to complete the WRX calendar, almost certainly, and it's easier to build an RX environment than a rally environment. So yeah, one rally maximum, per season, and the rallies will be returning stages from DR1.

They said that will listen to the community, well, the community want more rallies.
Please Codemasters, more rallies!
Speak for yourself.

My guess is for 2x RX and 1x DR1 rally, but I'm hoping the plan with the RX venues is to spread them over 4 DLCs and there's 2 rally locations in each. Personally, I'd be fine with 2x updated DR1 locations in each, but I hope they don't do this just because I imagine there'd be a general backlash like the VR thing and I want the game to do well...

I can't imagine they'd do 2 DLCs over 6 months without a single new rally location, but on the other hand it's hard to find places as iconic as GB, Finland, Germany, Monte Carlo/France, Greece and Sweden either.

Basically, any combination that only contains a single RX venue (or fewer) is a winner to me.
