Black Bean Games has confirmed WRC 2, the official videogame of the 2011 FIA World Rally Championship, is set for release in October 2011.

heck... didn't we play the demo almost a year ago? lol

"Cars in the game will be from the 1960s all the way up to current WRC models." I just hope they don't mess that up.

Never did get WRC for pc, I know it didn't come out on 360. The pc demo didn't speak very well for it.
Maybe this one will work out better.

I'm confused, wasn't it blackbean sold the publishing rights to ubisoft ?

Yeah, seems Ubisoft will publish this? I'm not thrilled, Blackbean was very lenient on copy protection / DRM (no bother at all). UBI might have different ideas.

10. An internet connection is required to install this game; establishing connection.
11. Connection established! But, DSL? Isn't there anything faster in your area? We can recommend one of our partner ISPs if you like.
12. Please log in with your Ubisoft account to continue. If you do not have a Ubisoft account (and we know you don't), please exit this installer and create one. Note that you will have to start this process again.

LOL. Yeah, that's about what I meant...

Also, unless I'm forgetting something, I don't know of any UBI title that is a current decent racer? EA has Shift, Codemasters have F1 and Dirt. UBI would be looking to go into that market (sim-light/arcade dudebro crap) and while many are critical of Milestone/Blackbean titles, one thing they can never be accused of is to cater to the arcade crowd. UBI might push for a change in that direction, delivering a laugh of a game that has more bloom and motion blur than realism or truth in it.
