May 26th, 2016 Bigben Interactive announces WRC 6 for the PC(Steam), Playstation®4 and Xbox One. Set for an autumn release, both Bigben Interactive and Kylotonn Racing Games proudly proclaim the addition of their latest instalment of the official FIA World Rally Championship (WRC), WRC 6, to the line up.
Officially, the new WRC 6 will feature the complete fourteen rounds of the 2016 WRC season. Additionally, and for the first time, Rally China will be making an appearance in the franchise! Naturally, all the star WRC drivers are available in-game, as well as a diverse selection of WRC 2 teams and drivers from the Junior ranking WRC 2 category.
eSports WRC, which was introduced in January of 2016, will be carried over to WRC 6. There will be some amendments to the existing terms of access, rules, and format; these amendments will be revealed as the release date for WRC 6 draws closer.
Quoting some of the key players involved in the development of WRC 6, we can learn a little more about what to expect from the newest iteration, as well as which things have been improved upon when compared to previous generations of the game.
Alain Jarniou, Game Director at Kilotonn:
“We spent the last 8 months, since the release of WRC 5, collecting and studying all the feedback from the community to improve the experience and take it to a new level” says Alain Jarniou, Game Director at Kylotonn. “The experience gained from WRC 5 helped the team to completely understand the expectations of racing fans when it comes to rallying. Roads were too wide in WRC 5? They will be narrower and more bumpy in WRC 6. Stages were sometimes too short? We created new longer stages and reworked everything to make them longer and more challenging. These are just a few examples of the massive improvements we are bringing to WRC 6 and we already know that players will definitely appreciate these changes.”
Bigben Interactive:
”Danger and diversity are at the heart of the World Rally Championship and WRC 6 will be the best way to feel the excitement of being in the boots of a real driver among some of the toughest conditions around the world. WRC 6 will bring a batch of new features to be announced in the coming weeks but it also takes advantage of new development tools which will increase graphics and audio perception for the players. E3 2016 in Los Angeles (June 14th – 16th) will be a first occasion to discover more about WRC 6 thanks to an impressive setup.”
Oliver Ciesla, WRC Promoter Managing Director:
“If you enjoyed WRC 5, then you will love WRC 6,” he said. “The developers have introduced significant improvements to make the playing experience even more exciting and true to life, while remaining faithful to its core aims of being an all-action game which takes in classic rallies and legendary special stages on all types of road surfaces.”
