New World Rally Championship Title Announced

Posted on October 2nd, 2009 in Console, Other Sim Racing – 14 Comments

Following first vague info on a new multi-platform World Rally Championship title that has been floating around the net for a few months, the new WRC title has been officially announced.

Published by Milan-based Black Bean Games and developed by Milestone, the new title will bring the World Rally Championship action to the PC, the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3 in 2010. Black Bean Games secured the rights for an official WRC title from ISC, exclusive commercial and media rights holder of the championship.

“The official WRC game will engage a whole new audience for the sport and we’re tremendously excited at the opportunities to grow our fan base and the profile of the WRC. It provides a hugely powerful touch point for us in which to showcase the WRC to consumers, and it will be the most realistic and playable rally game of all time. We chose to work with Black Bean Games because they have a proven track record making top level games with the official license in two-wheel motorsport.”, ISC’s Simon Long commented.

This marks the return of the WRC to the PC and other consoles as past WRC titles from Sony have been confined to the Playstation platform. No further info on the title’s content and features have been revealed yet.

    You’ll never know until we’ll see it: for sure V8 Supercars was far away from being interesting, but maybe this time they will treat this game in a different way. V8 was meant to be a budget game, after all.
    Let’s wait and see: I’m not used to be negative even before a single screen is released.

    To be fair to black bean SBK 2009 was brilliant, If they can translate the level of realism and graphics that title had to the WRC title then it will be an instant classic.

    Now I’m worried..
    (sry for at least third quote of that line)

  • UncleChuckle

    I’d like a decent rally game. I know RBR is good but I just never got along with it. Could never get my wheel to play nice with it and feel right. The FFB always felt like the wheel wasn’t quite connected to the car properly.

    I wish someone would update Network Q RAC Rally. Many happy hours playing that game.
