KT Racing has released October’s major update for WRC 10, and among the changes are new cars, locations and a co-driver multiplayer mode.
The first major post-release update for WRC 10 is now live. Developer KT Racing has given players lots of new and interesting things to check out.
On the content front, three new Anniversary Mode stages have been added along with a new modern location. For historic rally fans, WRC 10 now allows you to take a trip back in time and relive classic moments from rallies in 1980, 1981 and 2017. The respective historic cars have also been added to the roster to complement the stages, and players now have access to the Fiat 131 Abarth, Ford Escort MkII 1800, and the Ford Fiesta WRC.
The modern location that has been added is the Renties Ypres Rally Belgium. This is a tight and winding rip through small Belgian towns and countryside and plays into arguably the driving experience in the title, asphalt roads.
For those looking to race WRC 10 with friends, a co-driver multiplayer mode has been added. KT Racing supplemented the new mode with a pacenote chart, allowing the second player to give calls through voice chat to their teammate.
In terms of fixes and improvements, the changelog was very non-specific. “GPU optimizations” was listed, but no details were given on what was changed, which GPUs would see the changes, or what the effects would be. Other changes included localization improvements, enhancements to the livery editor, plus a short list of fixes for stages and cars.
If you’ve played any of the new content or tried the new co-driver mode, be sure to let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
