We've known for a while that the racing experts over at Codemasters are taking over the WRC franchise this year, which will be under EA's new 'EA Sports Rally' brand following the company's acquisition of the British developer. The team still hasn't formally announced its first officially licensed WRC game though, but a new leak gives us a proper title and a new release date.
According to well-known & often accurate leaker billbil-kun, EA and Codemasters will launch 'WRC 23' on July 28th, 2023. This latest rallying entry is set to mark the series' first move to current-gen-only - with a planned launch for Xbox Series X|S, PS5 and PC.
The series came on strides in recent years under its previous developer KT Racing; a team that's now hard at work on a brand new Test Drive Unlimited title. Of course, Codemasters has lots of rally pedigree itself, having developed the Dirt series for over a decade at this point.
We shouldn't be too far off an official announcement for WRC 23, then, given its reported release date of July 28th. There are a certain few showcases it could crop up at this summer, that's for sure!
Will you be trying out Codemasters' very first WRC game this summer? Let us know if you're looking forward to it!

5 seasons of what?!?!? It’s a WRC game it should have all the WRC content included?!?
Is it gonna have other content? Just 5 seasons of classic content seems excessive. I’m not a fan of all this season nonsense
I havent played any of them yet

Most likely extra cars and tracks, as was the case with Dirt Rally 2.0. I'm fine with more content. Most devs cut some content from their base games and serve it as paid DLC. You can always wait and get the complete version down the line. I'm just waiting to learn if WRC 23 has classic cars and is VR supported. If so, day one for me.
