Six special stages have been added to the iconic Neste Rally Finland, the fastest rally of the season. More than ever, you will need to rely on the pace notes of your co-driver, because the course is filled with blind jumps.

Players will also be excited to welcome New Zealand driver Hayden Paddon and his co-driver John Kennard behind the wheel of the celebrated Hyundai i20 WRC. WRC 9 has also added Photo Mode, allowing players to create and share their favorite moments, in some of the most beautiful landscapes around the world.

A second free update will include the highly anticipated Co-driver Mode. Release date and details will be revealed soon.

French video game developer Kylotonn has done an impressive job as of late of earning the respect of both the racing community and peers alike. The world of simulation-style racing requires consistency and quality, and with series like Isle of Man, WRC and V-Rally, the developers there have proven they understand the world they are residing in while building upon the positives, and improving in the areas where they have struggled. The question now with the release of WRC 9 is does the current upward trend continue? I was relatively bullish on the game in my preview, so let’s find out how things turned out in the end in this WRC 9 review.
