Lots of negative feedback about this on social media.

WRC '23 coming sooner than expected ?

I wouldn't be surprised, they are working on it for a few years.. They started to develop it as Dirt Rally 3 in 2020 (it was teased in their blog post), which should have released in 2022, but they merged both series as they reportedly didn't want to release two similar games in a span of a year.

Looks like we will get WRC game with a bunch of pretty historic cars (and hopefully World RX too), instead of just a few not very well-made cars. Also there were insider leak that stated that there will be feature that let you build rally car from the scratch, which could be a huge feature, although a bit against irl rallying.

Latest news - WRC 23 reportedly suffers a delay.

Rumours have claimed WRC 23 will launch earlier than usual in July, but this is seemingly no longer the case.

Reliable leaker billbil-kun claims WRC 23 has been hit with an internal delay and will now launch later this year before 1 November. If so, this will put WRC 23 in line with the launch period of KT Racing's WRC games, which usually released between September and November.
