When stadiums around the world are empty due to a global pandemic, Codemasters has decided to put their own spin (pun intended) on it by creating the DiRT 5 Arena Creator Mode, giving you access to a completely empty and dirty (whoops another pun!) stadium, allowing you to create your very own playground which you can then share online with friends and foes alike.

Cape Town Stadium is shown in the new DiRT 5 trailer released today which showcases several different game modes that you can utilise in the DiRT 5 Arena Creator mode. Shares and likes will play a large role in the new mode, with the most popular arenas displayed for everyone to enjoy.

Rocket Chainsaw has been following the development of DiRT 5 closely. Follow the links to learn more about the features, career mode, gameplay and car classes.

Check out the official DiRT 5 Arena Creator Playgrounds Trailer below, and make sure you watch until the end for a spooky surprise!
