Saber Interactive, the developers of Snowrunner. That gives me good hope 👍🏻

I cannot wait to get my hands on Dakar Desert Rally on PS5. It is an incredible event and one of the absolute biggest of the year for me. I still play Dakar 18 occasionally too.

There are some screenshots on the website I hadn't seen before: https://www.dakarthegame.com/en/#media

It looks great and hopefully clips like this mean we'll see more classes on course at the same time.

Looks like the artwork on the cover has been changed to replace the Kamaz with Macik's Iveco. Presumably the Maz is gone from the game too, totally understandable since they're both linked to the government in Belarus and Russia but the truck class might be a bit sparse.

That aside I'm really excited for this game, I might even reinstall the original tonight to tire me over for a month!

Maz and Kamaz will be in the game based on the driver list.

Dakar Desert Rally Launches October 4 on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox​

Saber Interactive has announced that the next game in the Dakar series, Dakar Desert Rally, will launch on October 4, for PC, PlayStation 4/5, and Xbox One/Series...

Can't wait to play it, i hope they solved the problems that were present in Dakar 18.

I wonder who buys all these racing games like Dakar, MotoGP, Ride, etc? Even big name racers don't sell that much, how are these smaller devs keeping the lights on? You never hear anyone discuss these games in the real world or online, and yet they're still getting made yearly. Maybe a money laundering scheme that manages to stay low profile. Because who really buys and plays this?

 

[MatskiMonk]

If they've worked on the route navigation a bit I'd be prepared to give this a go. Dakar '18 was fun (until you got lost), and the clutch implementation on wheels was actually pretty good for getting out of deep sand. Some of the stages are a proper workout.

I wonder the same. I imagine there's a fair bit of sponsorships going on, I guess the saudis could throw some money after a Dakar game.

From what I remember they got the devs that worked on Mudrunner/Snowrunner to make this iteration of the Dakar game. So going off the trailer and from what I've played of Mudrunner I imagine the physics will be the same which is a plus. I wonder how they'll handle the actual racing though?

I already have something like it, it's called Motorstorm.

I think you both underestimate how popular rally raid is in some parts of the world, I don't think anybody buying is expecting it to be a perfect game but neither was the original. It was a bit broken but still really good fun to play, a tidied up version of that will be perfect to me

This is not a game for gamers/simracers but more for the fans of the sport. I'll be buying even without the Saudi government paying me to.

Look so good!

I cannot wait to try it. Dakar 18, while flawed, was hugely enjoyable and a real challenge when on it's highest simulation setting.
