DiRT Rally 2.0: Greece (Rally Location)

The Greece Rally Location DLC for DiRT Rally 2.0 was developed by Codemasters and released on September 9, 2019. At the time of release, Codemasters also served as the publisher, though publishing responsibilities later transitioned to Electronic Arts following EA’s acquisition of the studio. This DLC reintroduced the rugged and iconic rally stages of Greece, originally featured in the first DiRT Rally. Known for its harsh terrain and punishing conditions, the Greece location brought a classic and challenging rally environment back into the game’s expanding roster.

The Greece stages are set in the mountainous regions of the country, featuring dusty gravel roads, tight hairpins, and treacherous rock-lined paths. The terrain is notorious for its ability to damage cars that stray even slightly off the racing line, making it a true test of endurance and precision. The visual design captures the arid, sunbaked landscape with dry foliage, rocky outcrops, and sweeping vistas. Players can experience the Greece rally in My Team, Custom Championships, and Time Trial modes, adding a gritty and technical challenge to their rally campaigns.

Promotion for the Greece Rally Location DLC was part of Codemasters’ ongoing post-launch content strategy for DiRT Rally 2.0. The release was announced through Steam updates, social media posts, and developer blogs, often accompanied by gameplay footage and screenshots that highlighted the location’s demanding nature. Codemasters emphasized the return of a fan-favorite environment and its role in rally history, appealing to both veterans of the original DiRT Rally and newcomers seeking a tough rallying experience. The DLC was also included in seasonal content drops, helping to maintain momentum and player engagement.

Reception to the Greece DLC was generally positive, with players praising the authenticity of the terrain and the intense driving challenge it presented. The stages were noted for their technical complexity and the need for careful vehicle management, especially in longer runs. Fans appreciated the return of a classic rally location and the visual improvements made over its original appearance. The Greece Rally Location DLC further solidified DiRT Rally 2.0’s reputation as a comprehensive and demanding rally simulation, offering a diverse range of environments for players to master.
