Nacon Announces New Unreal Engine-Powered Official WRC Game for Late 2027
Publisher Nacon has revealed a brand new official WRC title developed on Unreal Engine by Grit Games, targeting a release in late 2027.
Publisher Nacon has officially confirmed that a new licensed rally simulator in the World Rally Championship series is slated for release in late 2027. The project is being developed by Grit Games on Unreal Engine. According to the creators, this is not an iteration or direct continuation of the earlier entries created by KT Racing, but a complete reimagining built virtually from the ground up.
To ensure realistic handling and visual authenticity, the development team has partnered with French rally specialist PH Sport. The collaboration has involved detailed 3D scanning of actual rally machinery as well as capturing reference audio and engineering data to enhance vehicle modeling accuracy.
The reveal preview highlighted an eclectic selection of rally machinery, ranging from historic icons to modern contenders. Featured cars include the Lancia Ypsilon Rally2 HF Integrale, Citroën Saxo Kit Car, DS3 Rally2/WRC, Citroën C3 Rally2, Peugeot 205 Turbo 16, and Peugeot 208 Rally4. The final release is expected to feature a comprehensive lineup covering the WRC, WRC2, and Junior WRC categories.
