Dirt 5 foregoes nearly all of the formalities of rally racing for a full-on arcade experience, and a damn good one at that. The racing game has much more in common with Codemasters Cheshire’s previous racer, the criminally underrated Onrush, than other games in the series.

And to prove they’re taking it seriously, they’ve brought on two of gaming’s most prolific voice actors, Troy Baker and Nolan North, to bring life to some of the mode’s most important characters.
I recently had the opportunity to sit down with both actors and learn more about their respective roles and the type of narrative experience players can expect when diving into Dirt 5 this month. What I quickly caught onto is that these two are equally adamant that the immense level of detail that has been put into both the story and characters ensures that it rises...
