Indie hit Art of Rally is coming to Xbox and Switch consoles on August 12th, along with the new Kenya stages for both console and PC.
Developer Funselektor announced Tuesday that their underground hit Art of Rally will be released to consoles on August 12th. So far only the Xbox and Switch versions have been confirmed, but the Playstation version is still expected in the future.
The jump to console seems a perfect fit for this title, which is typically enjoyed with a controller rather than a wheel and pedal set. The fun and engaging atmosphere of Art of Rally has made it a surprise hit on Steam, and currently 94% of the reviews have been positive.
Art of Rally was released last year and defied many of typical characteristics of a modern racing title. The most obvious of these is the look of the title, which shows bright, colourful settings adorned with low poly buildings, flora and spectators instead of realistic looking rally stages. The in-game view is also a defining characteristic, with the player driving the car from a pursuing drone viewpoint. The view makes more of the road ahead visible, eliminating the need for audio pacenotes like other rally games.
Many in the sim community have been impressed with the physics Funselektor was able to implement into the title. While the looks of Art of Rally may give the impression of a pure fun gaming experience, the appreciation Funselektor has for classic rally racing shows through in the driving experience. The cars and drivers are close semblances of real-world rally and span multiple classic eras of the sport. These rally cars have unique handling characteristics which adds a layer of depth to an impressive career mode.
August 12th is also a big day for PC owners of Art of Rally, since the Kenya stages are set to be released. Kenya’s 4 new cars, 6 new tracks and a new free-roam area will join Finland, Germany, Japan, Norway, and Sardinia in the title.
