Dirt Showdown trailer reveals May 25 release date, demo due May 1

[VAMS id="9XA5P7E4drXS1"]

The trailer above loudly announces that Dirt Showdown will be released on May 25. A demo will be released on Steam in a couple of weeks on May 1 if you fancy trying out Showdown's lively, arcade slant on the relatively serious rallying of the core Dirt games. That'll let us crash a selection of cars across a "solo and multiplayer event."

Showdown features rough and tumble races set amid boisterous carnival locations. Expect ramps, choke points, stunts and plenty of collisions. Previous trailers have shown crashes on the 8 ball arena , crashes in the midst of crowded night time contests and crashes during frantic midday bouts . If that's not enough crashing, there's a destruction derby mode solely devoted to dishing out points for big hits.
