Codemasters is Dead, Long Live Codemasters Racing

THE BUZZ: Codemasters is no more. It will now be known as Codemasters Racing.

The
publisher has announced that it will be rebranding itself and will only
focus on the development of racing games, including F1, GRID and DiRT.

Development on the Operation Flashpoint and Bodycount franchises will be ceased.

“Racing
is the absolute razor focus for all titles currently in development and
those slated for future development across the studios in Warwickshire
and Birmingham,” a spokesperson told Eurogamer. ”The focus is an
exclusive one, there are no other genre properties in development at
this time; racing is everything. We are also increasing headcount across
the operation, which currently employs around 700. We are expanding the
teams by a further 100+ development positions, which are opening over
the course of the year across the sites.”

that kind of sucks, I was hoping for a Grid 2

GRID will still be made

I seen news on two Dirt title, but nothing on grid

GRID isnt cancelled, just cause there isnt any news doesnt mean its not being made. the only news i heard on DIRT was DIRT Showdown

I hope you're right about that. but they did mention that showdown was not the next Dirt game in the series but just a spinoff
