Codemasters’ DiRT Showdown Debuts Full-Contact Racing Fun

Pete Walsh January 28, 2012

Prepare for carnage and mayhem in Codemasters’ DiRT Showdown, the brand new action-packed extension to the award-winning DiRT series.  The first gameplay video, titled “Crash and Burn,” showcases the destruction-focused racing mode known as “8 Ball”:

The Nevada 8 Ball trailer features work-in-progress gameplay footage, showcasing the full-impact, destruction-focussed racing featured in DiRT Showdown’s 8 Ball event. The stage is a dirty, dusty circuit in the sun-baked Nevada desert where eight racers perform in front of the crowd, taking on jumps and dangerous crossover points as they jostle for position against a backdrop of fireworks and fire cannons. Boost is used to speed through gaps and smash rivals as the drivers — racing vehicles tuned for chaotic, aggressive racing — trade paint and crash out as they battle to become the star of the Showdown.

DiRT Showdown is scheduled for release in May 2012.
