WRC Generations Now Available

Late posting due to a work trip.

Back on November 3, 2022, Kylotonn released their final WRC franchise title, featuring Hybrid Cars, 165 Special Stages, Leagues Mode, Livery Catalogue, Cross-platform play and more. Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to do a review and apart from a trailer (visible below) there is basically no first-party marketing from the publisher. The screenshots on Steam are literally the same screenshots used to announce the title. But based on what I have seen, the title is good and worth a purchase if you enjoy rallying even at all…

You can purchase on Steam. Remember that Steam users who purchase before November 17, 2022 will receive the Peugeot 206 WRC 2002 DLC for free.

Press release:

WRC GENERATIONS NOW AVAILABLE!

Lesquin, 3 November 2022 – NACON and KT Racing are delighted to be celebrating today’s launch of WRC Generations, the official video game of the FIA World Rally Championship, on PlayStation®4, PlayStation®5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam and Epic). The game will also be available on Nintendo Switch™ on 1 December 2022.

WRC Generations represents a turning point for the franchise and aims to be the biggest rally game ever made. With this goal in mind, KT Racing, the French studio that developed the game, put all their effort and passion into offering players the ultimate rally experience.

Not only is it the first rally game to include hybrid cars and all the changes they bring to the competition, WRC Generations also includes all content that appeared in previous games in the franchise, while introducing some major new features:

Leagues mode: A new timeless leagues system in which players can compete against each other based on their level in daily and weekly challenges. Players can take part in Leagues on their own or as part of a team.
Team creation: Players can team up to attempt challenges together and proudly display their team flag at the top of the leaderboards and in other game events.
Livery catalogue: For the first time, players can share their liveries and other custom stickers with the community. They can also vote for their favourite liveries, which highlights the community’s most popular liveries and stickers.
Cross-platform: All the asynchronous modes are now cross-platform, which allows players to challenge each other and compare their performances, regardless of the system they play on. This includes Leaderboards, Leagues, Clubs, Livery Catalogue and Teams (except for the Switch which will work independently).

Players can choose between two editions when buying WRC Generations. The Standard Edition is €39.99 and includes the base game only; whereas the Fully Loaded Edition is €49.99 and includes:

The WRC Generations base game
Sébastien Loeb’s Citroën C4 WRC
Additional livery for Romain Dumas’ Porsche 911 GT3 RS RGT
Bonus items to enhance the livery editor
A Career Starter Pack with experienced crew member cards for Career mode
Three months of free access to WRC+, the official streaming platform of the FIA World Rally Championship

WRC Generations is the most advanced title in the series and has the largest selection of cars, rallies and special stages ever included in a video game. 165 special stages over 750 kilometers can be explored right now on PlayStation®4, PlayStation®5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, PC, and on 1 December 2022 on Nintendo Switch.
