Black Bean Games have announced that it’s working on a new World Rally Championship game for the PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
The game is being developed by Black Bean Games and its in-house studio Milestone, who brought us MotoGP and SBK Superbike.
Simon Long, ISC CEO, said: ”The official WRC game will engage a whole new audience for the sport and we’re tremendously excited at the opportunities to grow our fan base and the profile of the WRC. It provides a hugely powerful touch point for us in which to showcase the WRC to consumers, and it will be the most realistic and playable rally game of all time. We chose to work with Black Bean Games because they have a proven track record making top level games with the official license in two-wheel motorsport.”
Virgilio Bixio, Black Bean Games President, added: ”We are particularly proud to bring the WRC franchise back into the videogames arena after so many years of absence. Milestone has been working hard on this title and our expectations are really high. We will be able to provide the utmost competitive title that will provide extremely positive results. Furthermore, Milestone’s work is enriched by the overwhelming support we have received from the WRC community.”
No assets have been released, but the game is set for a 2010 launch.
