GRID Legends Rise of Ravenwest DLC And Update Arrive

Four new cars, 11 more themed Story Experiences and fixes appear from Codemasters as the GRID Legends Rise of Ravenwest DLC and update arrive for PC and console editions of the game. It’s available to buy separately, or if you own the Deluxe Edition, you can invite friends to play for free while you’re competing online.

The story additions follow the history of the more infamous team in the GRID World Series and how they became your arch rivals since appearing in the original Race Driver: Grid. And as the story arc runs through the history of Ravenwest and their driver Nathan McKane, each area calls back to the look and feel of previous titles in the series, which is a nice touch.

“Constantly racing with a chip on his shoulder, navigating family expectations and criticism from the media, this new DLC gives us the opportunity to explore the story behind the series’ antagonist. There is more to his ‘take no prisoners’ racing style and ‘win at all costs’ mentality than the eye can see,” said Paul Lovell, Senior Games Designer at Codemasters. “We invite players to dig deeper into the story of one of the most interesting and controversial characters within the GRID universe, fighting off the competition and ensuring Ravenwest’s success no matter the cost.”

There are also three new sponsored Career events, icons, liveries and banners, along with four iconic classic cars coming to the game, in the shape of:

• BMW 320 Turbo Group 5
• 1967 Chevrolet Corvette
• 1971 Plymouth GTX
• 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback

You’ll also get to drive in Miami four new layout variants in Miami, which last appeared in GRID 2 in 2013, with ramps and boost zones being added to the two previous routes.

And along with the details of Update V5.0, GRID Legends is getting some themed limited-time content to celebrate Christmas, including a special GT2 class five lap race in Chicago with festive lighting, and an extra dusting of snow for the environment.
