Colin McRae series making a return on iOS

Codemasters’ cult rally franchise Colin McRae is to return!

Having evolved into the Dirt franchise on consoles and PC, the Colin McRae IP proper will tomorrow be resurrected on iOS, Pocket Gamer reports.

The game is apparently based on Colin McRae Rally 2.0. It features 30 stages and over 130km of track. Vehicles include the Subaru Impreza, Ford Focus, Mitsubishi Evo VI and Lancia Stratos.

Also returning is co-driver Nicky Grist who will deliver verbal pace notes.

The game will cost 2.99 in the UK.

The first Colin McRae game was released in 1998 and the series continued all the way up to 2008’s Colin McRae Dirt 2. The next game in the series, Dirt 3, was the first to drop the name.

Colin McRae was a highly successful Scottish rally driver until his death in 2007 at the age of 39.
