News: Something that hasn’t been featured in many years, Rally Japan is a part of the 2020 season in WRC 9.

WRC 9 is set to be released in a few weeks and earlier today the development team revealed that the game will feature Rally Japan, a brand-new round for the 2020 season that players will find. Making its return for the first time since 2011 is Rally Japan, in which players can enjoy the thrilling mountains and forests of the Aichi and Gifu districts, which will host the WRC season’s finale in November.

With an enhanced career mode and many technical improvements, players are thrust into the heart of the new FIA World Rally Championship season with all content in the yearly calendar and much more:
