Nacon signed an exclusive agreement with the WRC Promoter for the release of official games for the FIA World Rally Championship license. The transaction covers the period from 2027 to 2032 and applies to the development and publication of games for PCs and consoles, as well as conducting official e -sports competitions.
As part of the partnership, Nacon will launch a completely updated WRC series, which, as stated, will be a restart of the franchise from scratch. New games should offer a deeper immersion in the world of rally races, reflecting the realities of the championship and corresponding to the expectations of both long -standing fans of the genre and the new audience. Projects will include official stages, cars, teams, riders and sponsors.
“We are delighted with the resumption of cooperation with the WRC Promoter. This legendary license provides a unique opportunity to create an exquisite racing experience that will meet the expectations of rally fans, ”said Alain Falk, general director of Nacon. “From 2015 to 2023, we had the opportunity to work closely with the official teams of the championship and many riders, which allowed us to accumulate a solid and unique experience in transferring rally to video games. This new project marks an important stage: a completely rethought development created by a ionate and specialized team with clear ambition – to bring games about rally to a new level. ”
“After a comprehensive assessment, we are pleased to report the achievement of an agreement with Nacon,” said Arne Dirks, marketing director of the FIA Rally World Cup. “Their vision of the franchise is impressive, and their experience in creating outstanding games about the rally is not in doubt. We are looking forward to the opportunity to make a breakthrough together in this cooperation, turning the WRC game into epic adventures and offering game experience that goes beyond the usual idea of the rally. ”
Recall that in April there was information that Electronic Arts will stop developing projects for the license of the World Rally World Cup (WRC).
