WRC 10 January Update Adds Teams Online Mode

Kylotonn today released their January update for WRC 10. This is earlier in the month than most people expected, so that’s nice, but it does bring quite a lot of disappointment…

Sadly the roadmap-promised “Online Multiplayer Championship” that was added in this update is nothing more than a renamed “eSports WRC Championship”, so those of you who were expecting to be able to setup an online competitions where you and others could compete in the same way DiRT Rally 2.0 supports are not going to like this one. I’m sad about this because, honestly, what else does “online multiplayer championship” sound like when you have terms like eSports available to use instead? Sigh.
