NACON and French video game developer Kylotonn / KT Racing shared a new gameplay video of WRC 10, the official video game of the FIA World Rally Championship.
This latest trailer shows us in-game footage of the Acropolis Rally in Greece. The Acropolis was first held in 1951. It became regarded as one of the WRC’s toughest rounds, as twisty and rocky mountain roads combined with intense heat and choking dust provide a fierce challenge. The rally has appeared in the WRC on 38 occasions and fostered a cult following among fans before leaving the championship in 2013.
Now the WRC Promoter has finalized a multi-year agreement with the Greek government for the Acropolis to return. It will form round 10 of the 2021 season on 9 – 12 September, replacing Copec Rally Chile which has been canceled due to continued restrictions amid the pandemic.
Furthermore, NACON also announced that WRC 10 will be featured on the Steam Next Fest, giving gamers the opportunity to play a free demo of WRC 10 on PC from 16 to 22 June. The demo includes an overview of three completely new rallies that have been added to this season’s calendar: Estonia (gravel), Croatia (asphalt), and Spain (asphalt).
The upcoming WRC game introduces a good number of improvements and new features that will excite rally gaming enthusiasts. It is also good news that the PC version of the game will be distributed via Steam ending the one-year exclusivity agreement with Epic Games Store.
