Nacon has announced that has inked a deal with WRC to publish officially licensed games based on the FIA World Rally Championship from 2027 — 2032.
The company will start working on a brand new WRC video game franchise as a result of the partnership, and follow news that Electronic Arts has ceased working on the WRC brand after many years of titles developed by Codemasters. Speaking on the partnership, Nacon’s CEO, Alain Falc, commented:
We are thrilled to renew our collaboration with WRC Promoter. This iconic license provides an exceptional playground to build a highly refined driving experience that lives up to the expectations of rally fans. Between 2015 and 2023, we had the opportunity to work closely with the championship’s official teams and many drivers, allowing us to gain solid and unique expertise in translating rallying into a video game experience. This new venture marks a major milestone: a fully reimagined project driven by a passionate and specialized team, with a clear ambition to elevate rally games to new heights.

After a comprehensive evaluation, we are delighted to have reached an agreement with NACON.

We look forward to breaking new ground together in this collaboration, to truly turn the WRC games into epic adventures and offer gaming experiences beyond rally as we know it today.
