Racing game enthusiasts of a certain vintage will remember the V-Rally series, a trio of rather good rally games launched in the late Nineties and early Noughties on platforms including PlayStation, N64. Dreamcast, PS2, Xbox, GameCube, PC and Game Boy Advance. The last one was the reasonably received V-Rally 3 in 2002-2003, and the series subsequently disappeared without a trace amidst publisher problems.

So, we’re surprised to tell you that V-Rally will return to the V-Road in 2018. V-Really? V-Right. The new game is being published by Bigben Interactive and developed by Kylotonn Racing Games. The latter company actually has a connection to the classic series too, as the game director Alain Jarniou was a programmer on V-Rally 3.

So far, we know that V-Rally 4 will be available for PS4, Xbox One, Switch and PC in September 2018. It’ll have 50 cars and game modes including Rally, Extreme-Khana, V-Rally Cross, Buggy and Hill Climb, as well as Online and Career modes. Take a look at the trailer above for a first look at the game, and lets us know if you’re excited on the forum or via social media.
