EA Sports WRC Stage List: Central European Rally coming this week

Published: Sep 06, 2023, 11:56 am Updated: Dec 11, 2023, 4:09 pm

With Codemasters at the helm, EA Sports WRC marks a new era of rally racing. The EA Sports WRC stage list includes 18 official WRC locations and over 200 special stages, making EA’s first WRC title the most comprehensive and authentic rally game yet.

Which stages are in EA Sports WRC (previously assumed WRC 23), and are any classic rallies returning? Here’s everything we know about the EA Sports WRC stage list.

Latest news - Season 2 adds Central European Rally

EA Sports WRC Season 2 kicks off on 14 December, and with it comes the long-awaited Central European Rally based on the real-life rally introduced in the 2023 season. Inspired by the real rally, the new Central European location features 32km of fast-flowing Czech asphalt and scenic countryside across 12 stages.

18 Locations and 204 stages

Rally stages are some of the most challenging in the world, pushing fearless drivers to the limit as they battle the elements across asphalt, gravel, and snow.

EA Sports WRC will feature 18 global locations with over 600km (370 miles) of challenging terrain for players to tackle across asphalt, gravel, and snow.

With 18 rallies and 204 stages, EA Sports WRC has fewer locations than WRC Generations, which had 21 rallies. But whereas WRC Generations had 165 special stages, EA Sports will have more than 200 – the most in any WRC game.

All 13 locations in the official WRC 2023 calendar are represented, starting in Monte Carlo and culminating in Japan. Twelve of these rallies will be in EA Sports WRC at launch, with the Central Rally Europe coming in a free update after launch.

Debuting in the 2023 WRC calendar, this new rally starts in Prague and takes drivers on a challenging route through the Czech Republic, Austria and Lower Bavaria.

Chile and Mexico are also back on the calendar this year, but Rally New Zealand, Catalunya and Belgium were removed. There are also five bonus stages, bringing the total to 18.

With Codemasters ditching its in-house engine and upgrading to Unreal Engine, EA Sports WRC's stages are longer and more detailed than any previous rally game. Every stage is a realistic replica of actual roads in the WRC, with a variety.

Each location has 35 km (21 miles) of unique track, with over 600 km across the game. Some stages are 30km long, which take over 20 minutes to complete in a Rally1 hybrid. For comparison, DIRT Rally 2.0's longest stages were around around 13 km (eight miles).

Seasons

Revealed in a recent gameplay deep dive, EA Sports WRC introduces seasons for the first time in a Codemasters rally game. All non-snow locations can be played in four seasons throughout the year.

Tackling unforgiving stages in Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter will present unique challenges while offering more variety.
