NACON and KT Racing have released a brand new gameplay trailer for WRC 9 and this time around, the gameplay features a brand new location Japan. Japan is a brand new round for the 2020 season of the WRC and all WRC 9 players will be able to experience this brutal new round in the game when it comes out next month. The new trailer comes after the reveal of New Zealand and Kenya previously.
Japan is returning back to WRC for the first time since 2011 and Rally Japan is one of the most thrilling rallies on the calendar for this year. It features mountains and forests of the Aichi and Gifu districts that will host the WRC season’s finale in November. Players will be able to master the course as it offers narrow asphalt roads and aggressive corners. These are complemented by the lush environment which will certainly hinder the driver’s visibility.
