OWN THE SPOTLIGHT In an off-road racing world full of
superstars, DIRT 5’s Career tasks with you standing out above the
rest, and making sure nobody ever forgets your name. The player
is dropped into a world-renowned off-road racing series that
delivers constant extreme action, continent to continent, in all
manner of amplified events. As you begin to get your feet wet and
make a buzz in the racing scene, you catch the eye of Alex
Janièek – better known as AJ, voiced by the legendary Troy Baker.
An undisputed superstar and fan favourite in the world of DIRT,
AJ quickly takes you under his wing, showing you what it takes to
rise to the top of the sport he has dominated for years. You’re
not the only new racer making a splash, though. Enter Bruno
Durand – the ultra-competitive, cold, calculated veteran, voiced
by none other than Nolan North. A champion in other off-road
disciplines, Bruno’s talent and star power mean a clash with AJ
is inevitable, but the fallout from an epic race between these
two icons lays the foundation for you to create your own legacy
in the sport. The entire story, your journey, and much more are
covered in depth by the DIRT Podcast by Donut Media, hosted by
James Pumphrey and Nolan Sykes from the Donut crew. Their energy
and excitement match the vibe of DIRT’s racing world, and between
events they react to all the key moments of your story, with
special guests including AJ and Bruno, W Series champion Jamie
Chadwick, and gaming and car culture personality SLAPTrain. All
of this comes together for a deep, narrative-driven mode that
sees you rise from obscurity to infamy in an amplified racing
world. Well, only if you’ve got what it takes… CHOOSE YOUR
ADVENTURE So that’s the story – but how will you experience it?
The Career is split into five chapters to cover the key moments
in the narrative. Each chapter offers multiple paths for the
player to take, meaning you can choose which events you want to
participate in through the chapter. If you want, you can still
race in everything there is to offer, which is over 130 events
across nine different race types, featuring every location in
DIRT 5. Complete races to open new events in the chapter; the
higher you place, the more Stamps you will earn. A certain a
of Stamps are needed to unlock the Main Event of each chapter, so
the better you perform, the quicker you can progress. Main Events
are the conclusion of each chapter and a tougher test for the
player. Finish third or above to move onto the next chapter. But
that’s not all. Complete certain objectives throughout Career
events to unlock secret Throwdowns, where you go one-on-one with
a fierce challenger in epic events. REPRESENT THE WORLD’S BIGGEST
BRANDS To travel the world, race incredible vehicles and be part
of this vibe, you’ll need sponsors. As a highly-touted rookie,
the world is watching – and there are some major names that would
like to speak with you… 20 real-world brands are available to
sponsor you in Career mode, including the likes of Monster
Energy, Sparco, Michelin, lace and, yours truly, Codemasters.
Each sponsor will have unique rewards when you sign with them,
including an exclusive livery of that brand, stickers to use in
the livery editor, and a currency signing bonus. Each sponsor
will have objectives, both long and short-term, that they want
you to hit in your Career. Do that and you’ll increase your
Reputation Rank, which leads to an ultimate reward once you hit
the top rank. Players can switch to a new sponsor whenever they
want in Career, though the earlier you leave a sponsor, the less
rewards you may receive, especially if you don’t meet your
sponsor’s minimum race contract. So, will you stay loyal to one
brand, or see what multiple sponsors have to offer along your
journey in Career? The choice is yours. SHARE THE JOURNEY Wanna
take some of your friends along for the ride? DIRT 5’s
four-player split-screen option is included in Career mode! For
any of the Career events that feature multiple cars on track,
each additional player takes the spot of an AI driver. They’re
not just there to cheer you on, either; the highest finishing
position of any player is the one that’s counted in Career,
meaning you could earn more Stamps, more sponsor bonuses and more
currency by teaming up. Whilst those rewards earned only count
for the host player, each additional player will receive XP and
currency rewards for their own accounts, which they’ll have
whenever they next play DIRT 5 as the host player. Finally, the
split-screen integration is a drop-in deal – so your pals can
jump in or out of your Career journey whenever you want, without
it halting your progression. Nice. So: a deep narrative, starring
the world’s greatest voice acting talents and real-world car
culture names; over 130 events and nine race types, with
choice-driven progression and extra-special events; a detailed
sponsorship feature with real brands and unique rewards to earn;
and a split-screen to share the fun with up to three friends.
That just about wraps up DIRT 5’s Career – the biggest, boldest
Career the franchise has ever seen. Got what it takes to ensure
nobody ever forgets your name?
