Press Release
SAN JOSE, Calif., (February 15,
2013) NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. announced that WRC 3
FIA World Rally Championship will be hitting North and Latin
America with the ultimate rally racing experience in Spring of 2013
for the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and
PlayStation®Vita system. Developed by racing genre-savvy developer
Milestone, WRC 3 draws its content directly from the 2012
FIA World Rally Championship, allowing gamers to experience racing at
breakneck speeds on official tracks with real world-renowned teams
and racers.
A variety of single and multiplayer
modes provides hours of playtime for any racing fan, but the heart
and soul of WRC 3 lies in its Road to Glory mode, which
reflects the exhilarating and rewarding career of becoming top racing
talent in the WRC universe. Players will be able to create their own
teams and compete through a series of adrenaline-pumping rallies
taking place in the most famous locations in the world. For those who
like a little more competition, players of the PS3 version can also
turn up the heat by racing against friends in the Hot Seat, where up
to 4 players can compete locally in a variety of modes to see which
is the fastest on the track. The online multiplayer modes also use
car Ghosts to let players see what their opponents are doing every
moment of the race, for a feeling of real head-to-head competition.
From the snowy roads of Sweden to the
green forests of New Zealand, there is no surface or climate
that WRC drivers won’t face. Accurate in-game vehicle
physics, complete with real-world car behavior, bring the thrill of
piloting a WRC car to life. Players are challenged with
characteristic track elements in each rally stage—fast straights,
jumps, fords, tight corners and hairpin turns—pushing them to use
advanced driving techniques to manage their vehicle’s performance.
“WRC 3 creates an in-game
virtual reality that is guaranteed to immerse gamers into the
riveting world of WRC racing,” says Carlson Choi, Vice President of
Marketing at NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. “Every aspect of the
game, from the vehicle physics, to the graphics quality, to the
live-recorded car engine sounds, will give players a gameplay
experience that truly lives up to the high-octane motorsports
adventure that is WRC.”
WRC 3 FIA World Rally Championship is
rated “E” for Everyone by the ESRB, and will be available for the
PlayStation 3 system (both Packaged and Digital) and PlayStation Vita
system (Digital only) in North America and Latin America in Spring of
2013. For further info please visit www.namcobandaigames.com/,

championship trophies on rallies spread across 13 countries. For more
