WRC 5 Officially Announced, Launching This Fall on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One

Car racing games fans--There's yet another title to look forward to as the World Rally Championship series is finally getting another game, which is expected to arrive this fall.
World Rally Championship (WRC) 5 has officially been announced by publisher Bigben Interactive. It's the same company that launched the previous version of WRC back in October 2013.

However, this time it looks like Bigben Interactive has decided to work with another team. The studio that will handle the development of WRC 5 is called Kylotonn Games. Some of you might remember Kylotonn for its work on titles like Bet on Soldier or Speedball 2 Tournament and The Cursed Crusade.

New development tools and experienced European developers and many surprizes are planned for fans in the game.

“We are very proud and excited to work on a title dedicated to one of the most challenging and spectacular forms of motor sport,” says Diego Sartori, Creative Director at Kylotonn Games.

“It’s exciting to help Kylotonn to make the best WRC game ever seen. Combining my driver and gamer experience with their technical point of view is something interesting when you are trying to do the most realistic game possible,” says Sebastien Chardonnet.

The only details revealed on WRC 5 are the fact that it will feature new stages, new game modes and 2015-season car liveries. The level of realism will be enhanced in WRC 5 considerably, especially because it will benefit from the input of 2013 WRC3 champion Sebastien Chardonnet.
New stages and game mode will be included in WRC 5
In fact, Bigben Interactive has announced that champion Sebastien Chardonnet will be WRC 5's ambassador. He unveiled a special WRC 5 car livery at the season launch event in Monte Carlo.

“Our team of racing enthusiasts is developing new technical tools to offer a true rally simulator from scratch,” explains Alain Jarniou, game director at Kylotonn Games.

No other information on the game has been disclosed, but publisher Bigben Interactive has promised that additional details will be available in the not-so-distant future.

The good news is that they have already released a launch trailer that may show some in-game footage.
A few more details have been found:
Kylotonn’s uses Kt Engine HD and by the looks of it should be excellent engine for a rally type racing game. On the tech side:

Kt Engine HD is a fully featured latest generation cross-platforms game engine (PC – PlayStation 4 PlayStation 3 – PS Vita – Xbox One – Xbox 360).
This production line includes :

A high end visual game engine supporting dynamic weather and dynamic day/night cycle, vehicle deformations, dirt, lens flare…
A level editor to create living, varied and realistic environments, alternating driving surfaces such as asphalt, gravel, snow…
A particles editor capable of simulating physics of dust volumes, smoke, dirt, water and snow projections…
A powerful physics engine providing detailed vehicle simulation allowing realistic handling, in any environment and on any driving surface.
Advanced damage model offering damage levels ranging from mild damage to complete destruction.
Replays mode with dynamic visualizations inspired by TV broadcasts.

The first developer diary video is out for the upcoming racing game WRC 5, and a brief look at gameplay.

Most of the video is focused on how the cars were modeled. The gameplay footage features a car driving along a dirt road in what appears to be the middle of a forest. Bigben has said that the footage is from the alpha version of the racing game, and will not represent the final, finished product.

WRC 5 has planned release for August of this year for PlayStation 4, PS3, PS Vita, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PC.

The newly early released Steam version of DIRT RALLY and the other much anticipated Sebastian Loeb Rally Evo (to launch this FALL) used laser scanning and a host of CAD data from rally teams and manufacturers to model cars and program their titles.

This is the most realistic experience, imho, but Kylotonn is using another approach and using detail photo data.

From the screenshots below (keep in mind the title is still in progress) can you tell there's no laser scanning involved?
