WRC 8 Career Mode Details Trailer
Bigben has released a new gameplay centered around the upcoming and overhauled career mode. WRC 8 Career mode simulates the real world allowing players to become a driver for a WRC team for the first time. Players will progress through seasons in attempt to become a world champion in rally racing. The career requires players to focus on three major areas that have been included in the game:
- Event Calendar: Planning takes strategy and players will need to focus on what’s most important. That may mean foregoing an event or two in order to be well prepared for the next
- Crew: A successful crew means balancing a team comprised of six different interconnected job roles. Players must consider each unique characteristic and use them strategically
- Skill Tree: Progression of research and available resources will live in a skill tree. Upgrades will evolve based on player choices. Every decision has an impact on progression and on the morale of the crew
At the end of each rally, players will also be presented with the statistics. This should help players refine their strategies and compare themselves to competitors. WRC 8 will release in September 2019 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC.
