Come desert, street or snow, DiRT Showdown races hard and parties hard. That over-the-top mentality runs rampant through Codemasters‘ soon-to-be-released racing game, the first series iteration to go into this territory. Offering an action-packed tour mode, which features tracks of varying terrain types, it promises chaotic speed festival gameplay.
Take a look at the studio’s new Race Hard, Party Hard gameplay trailer (below,) as it previews some of the environmentally unique tracks that can be found in DiRT Showdown. That list includes a snowy Aspen ski resort raceway, the hot sands of Baja and the speed-loving dirt of Michigan.
DiRT Showdown will be released on May 29. A special Hoonigan edition can be pre-ordered exclusively through Walmart.
