After the success of the Le Maestroes DLC pack, fans of EA Sports WRC 24 have been looking forward to the next DLC pack, Hard Chargers. If you are a fan of Ford especially, then listen closely!

The Hard Chargers DLC for EA SPORTS WRC 24 introduces an exciting range of content designed to expand the rally experience for those who prefer their racing offroad and sideways! This fresh content pack includes 12 brand-new rally stages across two locations: Rally Sweden and Acropolis Rally Greece. These stages deliver significant challenges for both experienced drivers and newcomers alike.


New Stages​

The Hard Chargers DLC pack includes twelve new stages: six for Rally Sweden and six for Rally Greece. The new stages are a welcomed addition, especially when combined with the bumper pack of new vehicles.

The addition of stages to Rally Sweden is certainly a standout. Last month, we detailed how Sweden was desperate for some love from the developers. While the original stages have not been adjusted or changed, these new courses have the potential to be considerably better.

Decent amount of new cars. Not to everyone's taste granted but new cars like the clio and corsa is never a bad thing.

Not sure I will buy this one though. Gave in and bought the last one and then only played it a couple of times before becoming insanely bored at how repetitive everything is within the game.
 
so this is the last dlc for this game exept wrc 2025 ? because i want to get ford fiesta wrc, citroen bx group b, and some toyota corolla and celica
 
Not going to lie I was really hoping for Celicas, but the Clios are a welcome addition too. And now that we got the '99 Focus, the only thing missing for the Colin McRae 2.0 reunion is the Corolla. PLS for next DLC, pretty please! (I know, Toyota licence and all)
 
Premium
I’m still loving this game - it’s torn me away from the likes of AC, AC Evo, LMU and others to become my most played racing title. I just love it and anything new is a bonus for me.
I know there is contention around the title with the anti-cheat and people suffering performance issues which is a shame because at its heart is a great title. I’m looking forward to this new content.
