The WRC series will continue to be well supplied in the coming years, for which Nacon and KT Racin have announced three games today, including the WRC 9, WRC 10 and WRC 11 offshoots.
After the success of WRC 8, WRC 9 brought numerous improvements and new functions to rally fans in September. This is followed by WRC 9 for the next-gen system, which is currently being worked on for PS5 and XSX.
In addition, NACON has agreed to continue the license agreement with WRC Promoter until 2022 for the development and publication of upcoming WRC titles WRC 10 and WRC 11.
About WRC 9
For WRC 9, the passionate developers of the French studio KT Racing are pulling out all the stops to meet their fans’ high expectations with even more realism and challenges.
Career mode: Further optimization with numerous challenges
The popular career mode of WRC 8 is expanded even further. He returns in WRC 9 with improved gameplay mechanics, new team upgrades, a greater variety of events, and a stronger connection to the real championship team’s activities.
Even more content
WRC 9 will again offer extensive content. Three new events have been added to the racing calendar: the return of Kenya’s well-known safari rally, the Rally Japan with its demanding, narrow asphalt tracks and the breathtaking landscapes of the New Zealand rally. In addition to these, two further rallies with completely revised landscapes will be available. Fans can also get behind the wheel of other classic rally cars that have made WRC history.
An even more realistic gaming experience
To upgrade and refine certain vehicle properties, the developers have again dealt with the realism of vehicle physics – including suspension, brakes and mass transfer – in order to offer authenticity on a new level. This detailed work realistically reproduces the behavior of the vehicles on all surfaces and under all conditions that can also be found in the real championship. Special attention was also paid to the further optimization of the sound design for a deeper immersion in the game world.
WRC 9 takes players into the new season of the FIA World Rally Championship – with all the contents of the annual calendar and much more:
- Three new rallies: Japan, New Zealand, Kenya
- Over 50 official teams from WRC, WRC 2, WRC 3 and the Junior WRC
- More than 15 bonus cars that have made WRC history
WRC 9 will be commercially available on September 4, 2020 for Xbox One, PS4 and PC. The next-gen and switch version will follow later.
