"News, everyone!"

From IGN:

July 18, 2006 - Ramping up to make its first appearance on next-generation consoles, Codemasters has cracked the hood a tad on the next installment in its highly successful and critically acclaimed Colin McRae series. Dubbed DIRT: Colin McRae Off-Road in the US and Colin McRae: DIRT in PAL territories (due to name recognition), the game will hit the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC simultaneously in 2007.

Promising to be the most diverse title in the series yet, the game will span locations throughout the world and feature the series' trademark point-to-point races as well as a slew of off-road events. [Information on] exact locations and tracks is quite slim at this point, but we're told that the entire 12.4 miles of the legendary Pikes Peak International course and all of its 150+ turns through the Rocky Mountains will be included.

In addition to its point-to-point races, DIRT: Colin McRae Off-Road will include desert-ridden Rally Raid competitions in Dakar-style trucks and 4x4s, Rally Cross events that switch between dirt and road racing, and 850bhp heavyweight car Hill Climb challenges situated on cliff sides. Additionally, the game will offer a mode dedicated to each of the European, International and Global rally championships and will feature official 2WD, 4WD, Classic and RWD rally cars.

Lastly, while the game's multiplayer features are under tight wraps for now, we do know that it will feature online multiplayer support.
