Lesquin, France, October 27, 2020 – NACON and KT Racing are pleased to unveil the new content included in the first free update for WRC 9, the official game of the FIA World Rally Championship. One month after launching on PlayStation®4, Xbox One and Epic Games Store for PC, anyone who owns the game can now enjoy more special stages, a new driver and the new Photo Mode.
Acclaimed by the gaming community and critics, WRC 9 had previously announced a series of free post-launch updates with a range of new features to excite fans. From today, 6 special stages have been added to the iconic Neste Rally Finland, the fastest rally of the season. This is a considerable challenge for drivers. More than ever, they will need to rely on the pacenotes of their co-driver because the course is full of blind jumps!
Among the new contents, players will also be pleased to welcome New Zealand driver Hayden Paddon and his co-driver John Kennard behind the wheel of the celebrated Hyundai i20 WRC. Finally, WRC 9 now has a Photo Mode, which players can use to share their favourite moments in some of the most beautiful landscapes around the world.
WRC 9 will soon receive a second free update, which will include the highly anticipated Co-driver Mode. More details will be shared very soon!
