Bigben and Kylotonn announced that 'WRC 8', FIA World Rally Championship (WRC) 2019 official video game, will be available in September for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and PC.
Never before has the official WRC simulation been this authentic. New off-road physics on all road surfaces, completely redesigned career mode, dynamic weather, 50 teams, 14 countries, 100 tracks, weekly challenges and the eSports mode. Aim for the top in the most intense WRC experience yet!
WRC 8 will offer a selection of WRC 2 and Junior WRC drivers as well as a few historic models to be revealed very shortly. Talent and concentration will be needed to overcome more than 100 special stages taking place in 14 countries. Upgrade your car to unprecedented new levels of detail and develop your team in an in-depth and intense career mode.
A new dynamic weather system has been developed to add random elements to the driving experience, but also to increase realism in the game. Managing the weather is a real challenge for the drivers: modified grip, car settings adjustments, tire selection optimization, weather team relationship to ensure the best tips and information on the latest conditions. More than mere visual effects, climatic conditions become crucial, especially in the management of your career.

'ACE COMBAT 7: SKIES UNKNOWN', the newest entry in the long-running Ace Combat series, is Out Now on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 - Windows PC launches February 1.
ACE COMBAT 7: SKIES UNKNOWN delivers the fiercest air combat experience ever created through photorealistic visuals, intense dog-fighting action, a multitude of authentic and futuristic aircraft to fly, an immersive storyline, and even virtual reality, but don't expect Ultra HD 4K on consoles.
ACE COMBAT 7's native resolution is 1080p/60fps on Xbox One X and PS4 Pro, 720p/30fps on Xbox One/Xbox One S and 972p/30fps on PS4. The PC Version supports Native 4K at 60fps+.
Leveraging the power of the newest generation gaming consoles (yeh right), ACE COMBAT 7will blow players away with the evolution of its graphics engine. Beautifully rendered cloud-filled skies and highly detailed cityscapes enhance the sense of unparalleled speed and set the stage for the most engaging aerial battles in the franchise's storied 20 year history.
Don't get me wrong, ACE COMBAT 7 is still amazing, I'm just extremely disappointed with the lack of Xbox One X and PS4 enhancements. 4K@30/1080p@60 should always be an option on X and Pro. Come on Namco Bandai, hook us up with some 4K goodness.
Let's take a look at ACE COMBAT 7 on the Xbox One X with over 40 minutes of in-game footage.
ACE COMBAT 7: SKIES UNKNOWN is Out Now on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, followed by Windows PC on February 1.
