Race Day Debut
In a groundbreaking move for rally sim fans, EA SPORTS WRC has officially dropped the green flag for high-speed racing action on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC platforms. Developed by the renowned Codemasters, known for their quarter-century legacy in rally game development, EA SPORTS WRC has revved up its engines with the full roster of rallies from the current championship season.
25 Years of Rally in the Making
EA SPORTS WRC not only carries the torch of tradition but innovates with its Dynamic Handling System, empowering players to hit the throttle, and brave the nail-biting twists and turns of competitive rallying. Ross Gowing, the Senior Creative Director at Codemasters, states that this title is the culmination of both their storied history in rally games and the prestigious WRC license.
Authenticity on Every Track
With over 600 kilometers of road designed to mirror the rigorous standards of WRC races, the game’s switch to Unreal Engine marks a milestone for graphical fidelity and stage design. This leap forward includes varied terrains, dynamic weather conditions, and time-of-day changes, setting a new benchmark for realism in rally simulations.
Handling and Pace Notes Reimagined
Through the integration of feedback from real-world rally drivers, the new Dynamic Handling System pushes the limits of virtual racing precision. In addition, the overhaul of pace notes with customizable difficulty adds depth and accessibility, catering to the full spectrum of players from novices to experienced rally enthusiasts.
Competitive Rally Reaching New Heights
A foray into EA SPORTS WRC’s multiplayer functionality reveals the capacity for cross-platform competition, where up to 32 racers can engage in virtual duels. This feature, alongside the historical Moments and Club systems provided via EA Racenet, ensures a socially connected and varied competitive experience.
Customization at the Core
For those with a penchant for customization, Builder mode offers a robust car construction toolkit. This mode invites players to mix and match components and aesthetics, followed by a test drive to ensure their creation is not only visually stunning but also track-ready.
Availability and Pricing
Sealing the deal with a PEGI 3+ (ESRB E) rating, EA SPORTS WRC has launched at an attractive price point, making it an accessible addition to any gamer’s collection.
With its attention to detail and broad array of features, EA SPORTS WRC positions itself as a serious contender for racing game of the year, ready to fuel the competitive fire of gamers worldwide. Whether it’s for the high-stakes rush of a racing challenge or the intricate joy of building a dream rally car, EA SPORTS WRC promises an off-road adventure that’s as thrilling as it is deep.
