Just over a month ago I noticed the extended radio silence from the Dakar Rally license holder and posted about the lost Asobo-developed Rally Raid title that was never released. Today Saber Interactive broke their silence and posted a trailer and a decent amount of information on their upcoming ‘Dakar Desert Rally’ title that looks remarkably similar to that unrealized dream.
Trailer:
Shockingly similar, eh? There’s a decent amount of information on their Web site. I have tried to collate the information together for you:
– Steering wheels supported (yes, I put this at the top of the list. See the list of controllers below).
– 2022 release.
– PS4, PS5, XBOX One, XBox Series X/S, Steam and Epic Store are listed.
– Single player career and online multiplayer.
– 30 stages from the 2020 and 2021 Dakar Rally races.
– Officially licensed vehicles, teams, drivers and riders.
– 150+ vehicles from 5 categories (cars, bikes, trucks, quads and SSVs).
– “Vast open world” Saudi Arabian environments.
– Seasons (shows snow).

– Dynamic surfaces (deep mud).
– Dynamic lighting (day/night cycle).
– Official road books (stage notes, basically).
