DiRT 2 confirmed for September

Will be the most extensive format launch in the series' history.

Codemasters has announced that DiRT 2, the sequel to the award-winning racer, is scheduled for release in September 2009. The game is in development for Xbox 360, PS3, PC, Wii, DS and PSP.

DiRT 2 promises to take players on a World Tour to compete in aggressive race events in the most diverse and challenging real-world environments. Events will include canyon racing of Utah's "Creek Trailblazer" event, the "Rawang Rally Run" along treacherous Malaysian rainforest tracks and the "Battersea Battle", where night races are staged at the iconic London power station.

The game's World Tour will take also racers to a LA sports stadium to take part in the "Stadium King Shootout". Here the LA Stadium will be transformed into an amphitheatre of racing for a rally cross event.

Codemasters also notes that the game will feature a host of off-road vehicles and online competitive multiplayer.
