The WRC games rally behind a new publisher weeks after being dumped by EA
1 min read
Summary
Gaming company Nacon has signed a deal with WRC Promoter to publish official FIA World Rally Championship games from 2027 to 2032, with rights for PC and consoles.
The deal includes publishing rights for the official e-sports competitions, and the company says it wants a complete reboot of the franchise.
The French company, which owns developer Kylotonn, previously responsible for the WRC games, is likely to hand the development of the game to the same team.
The last game published by Nacon, Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown, was poorly received by players due to server issues and complaints about gameplay.
The FIA welcomed the move, saying that Nacon’s vision for the franchise stood out, and the organisation was confident in Nacon’s expertise.
