The WRC series returns with Kylotonn Games on development duties for the second consecutive WRC game, but can WRC 6 build upon the foundations of WRC 5 and what previous developers Milestone had achieved through their four iterations on PS3 and Evolution Studios’ sublime efforts from their longstanding WRC series on PS2? Rally gaming continued its expansion in the 2000s with further Colin McRae Rally games releasing on PS2, while SEGA Rally finally made the leap to PS2 in 2006, alongside the introduction of varying approaches to rallying such as Rally Championship 2000 on PS1 and its 2002 PS2 sequel, EA Big’s arcade approach with Shox: Rally Reinvented on PS2, Pro Rally 2002 on PS2 and the precise simulation of Richard Burns Rally on PS2 in 2004.

Both mainstays of rally gaming on PS1 continued into the new millennium as Colin McRae Rally 2.0 released on PS1 in 2000 and V-Rally 3 released on PS2 in 2002 for what was sadly the final game in the V-Rally series. Rally video games particularly came to prominence in the 1990s including the origins of the SEGA Rally series in the arcades in 1994 before porting to the SEGA Saturn in 1995, accompanied by the V-Rally series in 1997 with V-Rally 2 also launching for PS1 in 1999, while Codemasters released their first game in the Colin McRae Rally series. The World Driver’s Championship was only introduced in 1977 in which it was named as the FIA Cup for Rally Drivers until it was officially announced as the World Driver’s Championship from the 1979 season onwards. An earlier incarnation of WRC titled as the International Championship for Manufacturers began in 1970 and took place until 1972. WRC is the absolute pinnacle of rallying with the first-ever World Rally Championship season taking place across 13 rally events for the World Constructor’s Championship in 1973.

WRC 6 is a rally simulation racing game available from retail stores and for download from the PlayStation Store for the PS4.
