EA SPORTS and Codemasters today unleashes the second DLC pack for EA SPORTS WRC 24, and the Hard Chargers Pack looks to be a serious treat for rally fans.
The Hard Chargers Content Pack is available today, bringing a mix of classic and contemporary rallying action, challenging new stages, iconic cars, and historical moments to relive.
From Snow to Gravel: New Stages Await
The Hard Chargers Content Pack adds two brand-new stages, each offering a distinct and demanding driving experience:
- Sweden: Umeå: This fast, technical Swedish stage is all about navigating long straights, sharp turns, and strategic bumps, all while contending with slippery winter conditions. Expect tree-lined paths, deforested sections, a tunnel under a main road, and a rally cross finish. With track widths of 4-5 meters, precision is key.
- Greece: Harvati: Prepare for a grueling mountain challenge in Harvati, Greece. This stage features a winding start, a river crossing (expect water splashes!), and a mix of rocky, muddy, and gravel surfaces. The track width varies, with steep sections alongside farm buildings, dips, tight winding parts, and roadside trees. The final third opens up slightly before becoming winding and technical again.
Iconic Cars and Liveries
This pack isn’t just about new locations; it’s also about expanding your garage with some legendary rally machines and stylish liveries:
- Six New Vehicles: From the classic Ford Focus WRC ’99 to Hyundai’s 2021 championship challenger, the Hard Chargers pack adds six new vehicles ready to be pushed to their limits.
- 18 Fresh Liveries: Customise your rides with 18 new liveries for both new and existing cars. Highlights include the renowned Peugeot 206 Rally livery and two new liveries for the Ford Focus RS Rally.
Relive WRC History
The Hard Chargers Content Pack also lets you step into the shoes of rally legends with 16 new Moments:
- Replicate historical achievements, such as the Ford Fiesta Rally3’s 2022 Junior WRC victory in Rally Sweden.
- Relive Hyundai i20 Coupe WRC’s 2021 triumphant battle in Spain. Fight for victory on high-speed roads of Rally Finland with the Ford Escort RS 1600 MK1.
“The Hard Chargers Content Pack showcases the evolution of rallying from the 1970s to today, allowing players to immerse themselves in iconic moments and challenge themselves like never before,” said Matthew Battison, Producer at Codemasters.
Part of the Season Expansion
The Hard Chargers Content Pack is the second DLC release in the EA SPORTS WRC 24 Season Expansion. You can purchase it individually, or grab the Season Expansion Bundle, which also includes:
- Locations & Cars Content Pack
- Le Maestros Content Pack
- Hard Chargers Content Pack
A Solid Foundation
This new DLC builds upon an already strong foundation for EA SPORTS WRC.
As our review of EA SPORTS WRC at launch stated: “Helped along by good visuals and the most detailed of audio, taken as a rally racer, EA Sports WRC is probably the best there is. Begin to understand the need to be fast but cautious and any fan of the World Rally Championships should look to get behind the wheel of this one at the earliest of opportunities. And with EA and Codemasters holding the licence for the foreseeable future, the virtual WRC scene is likely to just get even better from those lights out to that finish line.”
We awarded a 4/5, and we can’t wait to delve into the new content.
