Retro cars from past rally eras will feature, as will 16 player online support.

There are millions of WRC followers and racing games enthusiasts all around the world and our ambition is to make them happy with our official products," Leader Spa MD Luisa Bixio stated.

"Most of them simply can’t wait to know more about the next WRC episode. Following the International press and consumer feedback we collected after the 2010 edition release, everyone at Black Bean Games and Milestone, together with the North One Sport team, is doing the best to achieve the most important objective of this year:meeting the gamers expectations.

"We really want to deliver a state-of-the-art off-road motorsport experience which combines a great graphics impact, the best driving model in this genre and all the WRC elements from the current season such as all classes, drivers, all rallies as well as much more to enjoy such as the brand new Super Special Stages."
