Today Bandai Namco announced that it has partnered up with Milestone and rally legend Sebastien Loeb for a brand new racer that will release this fall. The game is called Sebastien Loeb Rally Evo and will be released on Xbox One, PS4 and the PC – so no PS3 and Xbox 360 versions coming folks.
Sébastien Loeb Rally Evo places racers deep into the competitive world of rally with advanced physics and environmental effects, a huge variety of popular rally cars, realistic artificial intelligence, comprehensive career mode and multiplayer online gameplay to create a completely compelling and immersive racing experience.
The game is built on an improved version of the WRC engine that the studio has been using for quite some time.
Sébastien Loeb Rally Evo offers a wealth of rally vehicles from past and present rally history along every major category of vehicle, from the powerful group B to the modern WRC. True to the down and dirty world of rally racing, each vehicle exhibits an accurate damage model with scratches, tire punctures and car deformation. The track features special weather effects for rain and wind, along with dawn, noon, sunset and night settings to present a variety of racing conditions. Nine-time World Rally Champion Sébastien Loeb serves as the player’s guide through the in-depth career mode, which challenges gamers to race a variety of rally events to earn money and unlock more powerful vehicles to climb the world rankings and become champion.
“Sébastien Loeb is a sportsman of the highest level, and Sébastien Loeb Rally Evo captures the excitement of his world with intense rally racing, a deep catalog of tracks and vehicles, and an immersive racing experience,” said Chris Gilbert, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing at BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment America Inc. “With the power of PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, the team at Milestone has created the ultimate rally racer, and every powerslide, bump and collision is crafted by people with a clear love of the sport.”
