WRC 5 gets a new trailer, and a new developer for the series

Off-roader looks on-track for its October release.

Fast cars! Dirty cars! Gravel in your face cars! The world of rally has always been fertile ground for games, and this year we've been treated to the welcome surprise of Codemasters' Dirt Rally, which is currently in Early Access as it works its way towards a final release. Let's not forget that other, officially licensed series, which this year sees a new developer parachuted in, and which has just received an all-new trailer.

You might not have heard of the new developer Kylotonn, a Paris-based outfit who were previously most famous for the Bet on Soldier series (no, me neither). But! They've been on something of a recruitment drive, and heading up the team for WRC 5 is Test Drive Unlimited 2's lead programmer and Simbin's former creative director. Now that's some heritage.

WRC 5 is out on pretty much every platform there is this October, hitting Xbox One, PS4, PC, PS3, Xbox 360 and the Vita.
