WRC 8 Officially Revealed
No sooner does Bigben Interactive and Kylotonn announce the latest eSports WRC tournament, revolving around WRC 7, than they announce the next game in the series! As far as we know, eSports WRC will still be using WRC 7….but soon we’ll all be playing WRC 8!
Kylotonn used feedback from the eSports tournament, as well as comments from the community, to refine and improve this installment of World Rally Championship. WRC 8 will boast improved graphics, smoother pace notes, refined steering controls, a more in-depth career mode, and more.
WRC 8 will use the actual drivers from the real-world 2019 World Rally Championship, including six-time world champion Sébastien Ogier from Citroën Racing, Jari-Matti Latvala, Kris Meeke, and Ott Tänak. Racing legend Sébastien Loeb has also returned to the track, and he will be playable in the game too.
Over 100 special stages will be packed into WRC 8, spanning 14 countries from across the globe. The new dynamic weather system adds unexpected twists to the turns, but you’ll have the ability to upgrade your car with options like a modified grip, car settings adjustments, and tire selection optimization. Being prepared for what Nature throws at you could mean the difference between victory and an eighth place finish.
Check out the game’s visuals in the brand-new trailer below. WRC 8 launches this September for Playstation 4, Nintendo Switch, XBox One and PC!
