It’s been a while since Dakar 18 tumbled onto the stores of Xbox, PlayStation and PC. But very soon there will be another option on the table – that of Dakar Desert Rally.
Coming to Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, PS5 and PC, Dakar Desert Rally from Saber Interactive will let you drive in the most massive rally racer ever – with extreme open world environments, realistic physics and authentic vehicles, all ripped from the famous Dakar rally.
It’ll launch in 2022 and sees Saber Interactive announcing their most ambitious game yet based on the world-famous Dakar Rally. This next-generation racer features true off-road rally action from the official 2020-2021 Dakar raids with authentic vehicles, realistic physics, and dynamic seasons and weather.
Developed by Saber Porto, Dakar Desert Rally will promise to capture the genuine speed and excitement of Amaury Sport Organisation’s largest rally race on the planet, featuring a wide variety of licensed vehicles from the world’s top makers, including motorcycles, cars, trucks, quads and SSVs. The game offers unique challenges for off-road simulation diehards and casual racing fans alike: compete in fierce online multiplayer races or navigate the vast wilds in single-player offline.
Key features include:
- The Authentic Dakar Rally Experience: Over 30 stages of full rally racing from the official 2020 and 2021 Dakar Rally races with officially licensed vehicles, teams and pilots across multiplayer and single-player modes.
- Immense Open World: Compete at high speeds across extreme and vast open world environments of Saudi Arabia.
- Dynamic Seasons & Weather: Dakar Desert Rally features all four seasons and a full day-night cycle. Whether facing billowing sandstorms, blazing desert sunlight, grueling rain and snow, or deep mud, you’ll need to overcome the elements and your competition to win.
- Rescue & Repair: In true Dakar fashion, you can tow and rescue a competitor out of a jam for extra repair points. Who knows — you might need the favor returned down the road.
We advise you give the trailer for Dakar Desert Rally a little look and then hold tight for launch at some point in 2022. If you played the previous game, or just love the madness of the rally itself, it’s sure to be one to keep an eye on.
