We're still due one more officially licensed rally game from KT Racing, namely WRC Generations, arriving mid-October. The last couple of rally sims from the studio have been really rather good despite a few rough edges, and we're excited to see how this new one shakes out. However, the WRC licence moves to Codemasters starting in 2023, and a new report teases an exciting feature in next year's title.
According to Insider Gaming, sources "with knowledge of WRC 23" have provided some interesting details. There will apparently be 16 vehicle classes, from the latest WRC cars to historic vehicles. However, rally fans may be interested to hear about an in-depth vehicle customisation feature that will apparently be included in the game.
If true, this system will effectively let you build a car to your liking, selecting the drivetrain and then purchasing the exact parts you want. Suspension, gearbox, radiator, brakes, and basically everything you can think of will apparently be customisable. This will also go for exterior customisation, with players able to fit their choice of bumpers, wheels, bonnet pins, and more. The result will be a vehicle you've created from scratch, which would be pretty neat.
As for how the game will play, it's expected that the DIRT Rally team is behind it, so you can practically guarantee a brilliant-feeling rally sim. This will be Codies' first officially licensed rally game in nearly two decades, so we're very curious to find out what it's truly like. For now, the above details aren't confirmed, and as mentioned, we have WRC Generations to get to first, but rally fans are being well catered for either way.
Are you excited about next year's WRC game from Codemasters? Would you be interested in building your own rally car? Don't cut in the comments section below.

WRC 10 has amazing handling and knocks the socks of DIRT! I just hope the new WRC game from Codemasters doesn’t have DIZZY handling 😜
@Luigia WRC 10 is great, and I'm sure Generations will be, too! My personal favourite is DIRT Rally 2.0, though
@Luigia as a rally 'sim' then WRC10 has it for me over Dirt Rally. Very much looking forward to both of the next ones though.
Although I do have to say I'm a huge fan of Dirt 5 - sadly the closest thing we have to Motorstorm currently. I hope the ex-evo devs push further into arcade handling and stylings with the next release rather than a muddling of the arcarde "Dirt" and sim "Dirt Rally/WRC" series.
Dirt Rally 2.0 is a great game in my opinion. My first real outing in rally racing amd it has been a very cool learnijg curve. Nailing your first hairpins with a wheel, clutch and h-shifter is extremely satisfying
Man, I'm mega excited for these upcoming racing titles. WRCgen, Dakar, this rumored NFS, Wreckfest 2 has gotta be cooking, too! And now this!!! Shoot even these upcoming kart racers might be dope. We'll be eating good soon.
@Gloamin wow I share exactly the same feelings! Love DIRT 5 and soo much fun!
I feel Generations will be a fitting end to the series from KT Racing
I couldn’t really care about making my own car but I’m just
Pleased that it looks like they are incorporating dirt 3.0 into the new wrc game by including the old cars. In 2.0 the newest rally car is that mk2 fiesta r5 which is a wrc2 car. It’s fun to drive but it’s so stable and has so much grip. I prefer to drive the understeering 4 wheel drive, rocket pigs in group b or the knife edge rear wheel cars
