As we’ve known for some time, Nacon and Kylotonn have lost the World Rally Championship license, so a new publisher and developer will be bringing the subsequent game adaptation.

Here’s the game’s overview: “Build the car of your dreams in our biggest rally game ever, EA Sports WRC, the all-new official videogame of the FIA World Rally Championship, the first developed by the award-winning team behind the DiRT Rally series. Design and drive your dream rally car with the debut of Builder mode. Race and overcome recent events alongside real-world highlights and nostalgic throwbacks in Moments mode. Codemasters’ renowned multi-surface handling model is improved for WRC. Tailor it to match your skill level and put it to the test on surface degradation. Revel in euphoric moments as you battle the elements across dirt, snow, and asphalt to pursue the perfect run.

Built on the foundations of over 25 years of rally-game heritage, drive the WRC, WRC2, and Junior WRC cars with drivers, teams, and liveries from the 2023 season. Challenge yourself behind the wheel of the epic WRC cars and 70 historic vehicles from Monte Carlo and Portugal to Kenya and Japan; battle 17 current and former WRC locations with over 200 stages at launch. Career, Championship, Time Trial, Cross-platform Multiplayer, Regularity Rally, a detailed livery editor, and more will be available.”
