News: V-Rally 4 is going to offer some unique challenges for gamers and put your skills to the test as the unexpected happens.

Bigben and Kylotonn Racing Games have released two new videos highlighting V-Rally 4's rally mode, as well as the special stage generator featured in the upcoming off-road game arriving this fall.

A rally is made up of several timed stages called "specials" that severely test a driver's nerves. To be a successful rally driver, you need to love risk, be able to keep your head straight when going through tricky areas, and have the ability to adapt when unexpected weather complicates matters. Your co-driver's notes are often critical.

In V-Rally 4's rally mode, the highly varied environments of the specials require you to draw on all your driving skills. Speed through the breathtaking environments of Malaysia, Japan, Siberia, Kenya, Sequoia Park and Monument Valley. Pay attention to your co-driver's notes displayed on the screen so you won't be surprised by a tight bend.

Entire road networks have been created for the rally environments, with an impressive level of detail. In addition to the pre-defined specials, V-Rally 4 provides an even more unpredictable challenge through the specials generator. Just like rally organizers, the specials generator randomly opens and closes road intersections, which means there are hundreds of possible routes through each environment. Your route is not a collection of pre-defined roads and bends: it uses parts of the road network, and each special is different, with unique characteristics. That makes it rather difficult to learn the bends by heart. Once at the starting line, you'll need to demonstrate courage and concentration.

Each discipline provides a unique driving experience so that V-Rally 4 racing fans can test their skills and learn new driving techniques. Your versatility will also come in handy in career mode, which takes drivers around the world. Take a look at the new videos and tell us what you think. V-Rally is slated for release on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC in September. It will arrive on the Nintendo Switch at a later date. Will you be picking it up?
