The first World Rally Championship-branded racing game came out two decades ago and has since been followed by numerous sequels. But most of those games scored mediocre reviews at best from game critics ... until last year's WRC 9, which saw the franchise achieve Metascores in the 80s for the first time. The same developer, French studio Kylotonn, returns for this year's sequel, which will commemorate the 50th anniversary of the real-life World Rally Championship by featuring an array of historical vehicles (and six historic events) in addition to modern-day rally cars and races. Other tweaks include new customization options in career mode.
