Dirt 5 Will Feature The Last Of Us And Uncharted Lead Actors As Rival Racers

Dirt 5, which was announced during Microsoft's first Xbox 20/20 presentation, will feature two big names from the world of video game voice acting, and they'll be voicing rival racers. In a new forum post detailing the game's campaign, Codemasters has announced that the game will feature Troy Baker (Joel in The Last of Us) as Alex Janicek, the mentor to the player character, and Nolan North (Nathan Drake in the Uncharted series) as Bruno Durand, Janicek's rival.

Eventually the two characters will race one another, as Codemasters promises that "the fallout from an epic race between these two icons lays the foundation for you to create your own legacy in the sport." You'll be able to choose your path through the game's campaign, which is split into five chapters, and in each one you'll be able to choose which events to take part in. You'll be able to race through every event, if you want--there are 130 in total, split between nine different racing types.

Codemasters released some screenshots of the campaign menus, as well as two new shots of in-game car models--you can view them below.
