Rally Arcade Classics is a retro-inspired rally simulation inspired by classics such as Colin McRae and Sega Rally. It was released on Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch last year and impressed retro racing gamers with its smooth controls and old-school gameplay. This news comes hot on the heels of this week’s other retro racer announcement of Old School Rally getting a physical release later this year.
Now, Rally Arcade Classics is getting a major update titled Precision & Chase that will add more functionality as well as a 50% discount to celebrate the announcement. The game has been developed by Spanish independent developer NETK2GAMES, and in a statement, it said it was happy to announce the update, “which implements a manual transmission mode, a revamped speedometer, and adds an online friends list with high scores allowing players to track the records of other known pilots.”
The game already offers 44 iconic cars from different eras with a license-based progression system, so players have to train their driving skills to unlock the modes before driving the legendary cars, introducing a simulation-type of physics in what would otherwise be a traditional arcade experience. Tour, arcade, rally, and weekly events are also available for different styles and preferences.
“We devoted two hard years to create this game with a passionate team and one goal: to combine elements from different eras of racing games and keep an accessible experience for both veteran and new fans of the genre,” said Salvador Casamiquela, co-founder at NETK2GAMES.
What’s new on Precision & Chase update:
The manual equipment will be available, and the rating tables will indicate whether the player achieved the best time in manual or automatic mode
A speedometer will be added to the interface, replacing the previous bar. The manual pilots will have a larger interface to check the speed and revolutions, and the automatic ones will have an easier element to consult while driving
List of friends will be added in the game, allowing players to have up to 25 pilots that they want to follow closely
The classification tables will be renewed. In addition to reflecting on the type of equipment the pilot uses, you can filter by different settings: your global position, top 10, and friends
