Dakar Desert Rally Trailer Details “Biggest Open-World Off-Road Racing Game Ever Made”

I really hope this title is as good as it looks and sounds. The trailer below boasts that Dakar Desert Rally will be the “biggest open-world off-road racing game ever made.” As someone who has wanted something like this for many years, and laments the cancellation of Asobo’s Rally Raid title that turned into Codemasters FUEL game, I’m trying hard to contain my excitement.

The trailer looks visually stunning, shows what appears to be in-game visuals, details the varying game modes (Sport, Professional and Simulation), details the varying conditions you’ll face and so much more. There’s absolutely no doubt that the features are amazing if they work as intended, so now we just have to hope it drives well…

The game releases in October and is available for pre-order now (Epic and Steam).

Please be good. Please be good. Please be good.
