Codemasters began teasing a special announcement earlier today and now the actual reveal has taken place, as the studio has launched a special racing experience for the iOS platform in the form of Colin McRae Rally.

Codemasters amazed millions of racing game fans over the years with its original Colin McRae series and then moved onto other franchises like Dirt or Grid.

The studio started teasing a special announcement earlier today, but it seems that the surprise has been ruined by an early listing of the game on the iTunes App Store.

"From the developers of the multi-million selling franchise and based on content from the 90% Metacritic rated Colin McRae Rally 2.0, Colin McRae Rally for iPhone and iPad features thirty amazing rally stages with a combined distance of over 130km."

"Go flat out through the dirt of the Australian outback, take on dramatic climbs through the mountains of Greece and get sideways on the tight and twisty roads of Corsica," the game's description reads.

Quite a few impressive features are included in Colin McRae Rally for iOS, so check out the full list below.

The Cars - Get behind the wheel of legendary rally cars, the Subaru Impreza, Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI, Lancia Stratos and Colin McRae’s Ford Focus. Pace notes read by professional rally co-driver Nicky Grist help you fully commit through each and every stage. • The Control - With the critically acclaimed Colin McRae Rally handling, damage and physics model under the hood, feel the thrill of putting pedal to metal across different surface types and blast through beautiful, challenging environments. • The Challenge - Take on different game modes including quick races, full rallies and Championships and customise your experience with different controls schemes and views. Post your best time to the leaderboards and unlock achievements with full Game Center support.

The game is already available for download on the iOS platform and you can expect more details soon straight from Codemasters.
