Dirt 5 trailer reveals a career mode starring Troy Baker and Nolan North

Codemasters has released a new Dirt 5 trailer revealing the game’s career mode, which features Troy Baker and Nolan North voicing the main characters.

The rivalry between the pair creates space for a rookie driver to make their mark in the world of off-road racing, with Baker’s character AJ becoming your mentor and North’s character Bruno Durand becoming the game’s antagonist as you compete in the Dirt Series, a globetrotting racing event across multiple disciplines.

Further to the established acting talent, Codemasters says the five-chapter story mode is brought to life by racing enthusiasts and content creators James Pumphrey and Nolan Sykes of Donut Media, who host an in-game podcast.

The career mode lets you choose the events you want to play with the goal of earning enough Stamps to qualify for Main Events that unlock subsequent chapters.

Throwdown challenges also pit you against real-world racers in one-off contests, while up to four players can offer couch-play support in multi-car challenges.

“Dirt 5’s Career underpins the entire experience and delivers a deeply immersive playground with player choice very much at the heart of it,” according to Robert Karp, the game’s development director at Codemasters.

The company has also announced an October 9, 2020 release date for the PS4, Xbox One and PC versions of the racing title, with PS5 and Xbox Series X launch dates still to be confirmed.

Dirt 5 was unveiled with an Xbox Series X reveal trailer in May. The game will support Microsoft’s Smart Delivery scheme, which lets players buy a title once and play it across multiple Xbox generations.
