The golden era of rallies returns in #DRIVE Rally!

Unleash the raw power of legendary rally beasts, admire every second of the stunning landscapes, and remember: the faster you go, the better!

#DRIVE Rally isn't just a trip down memory lane; it's an arcade-inspired rally-driving experience set in the golden racing era of the ‘90s. Experience the thrill of rally racing with passionate co-drivers who react dynamically to your driving, offering both praise and critique while helping you navigate the twists and turns of every stage. Explore more than 400 kilometers (or about 240 miles) of diverse rally landscapes, from the lush, evergreen forests of Holzberg in Germany to the twisty, arid roads of the American southwest— each offering its own set of challenges.

The gameplay model is intuitive for beginners and, at the same time, challenging for those who want to squeeze every millisecond out of each turn. When rivals are breathing down your neck, every moment is as precious as gold. Success will come with a co-driver who witnesses both great victories and tough losses. It's a partnership that thrives on performance and emotions! Celebrate together, but be ready to face criticism in failures.

With 36 different cars divided into 3 unique classes, #DRIVE Rally provides an extensive roster for players to master. Customize your vehicles with a variety of paint jobs, decals, and performance upgrades to make each car truly your own. Dive into the career mode to achieve racing glory or capture stunning moments with the photo mode, complete with custom camera angles and effects.
