EA Sports WRC is an upcoming singleplayer and multiplayer simulation racing game developed by Codemasters and will be published by Electronic Arts via their EA Sports division. It is a licensed World Rally Championship game and is the first WRC game to be developed by Codemasters and published by Electronic Arts.
