In addition to this news, Codemasters released a trailer that sees developers and real-world rally drivers talking about Dirt 4's Your Stage feature. This is the new track-generation tool that procedurally creates a new challenge for you to tackle based on your specifications.

"Your Stage is something that we have been working on since the launch of Dirt 3 in 2011," explained chief game designer Paul Coleman. "It allows players to generate an almost infinite variety of stages at all of the rally locations in Dirt 4. It's a revelation as now our players will get the thrill of driving a new stage whenever they want.

"It is extremely simple for you to create a stage but, behind the scenes, we have an extraordinarily complex series of rules and algorithms that put these routes together. Your Stage creates such a huge variety of routes, some that we would never have thought of crafting before, and they're amazing to drive."
