Milestone s.r.l. have revealed the first batch of screenshots from Sébastien Loeb Rally Evo, Milestone’s exclusive new IP, scheduled for release in autumn 2015 on Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

The Italian development team has implemented a raft of technical improvements. SLRE is the culmination of all the sim-racing know-how accumulated by Milestone over years of developing games dedicated to the world of Rally driving. The proprietary engine has been enhanced to take full advantage of the power of the new generation of consoles, with advanced lighting and vegetation systems.

The first batch of screenshots illustrates the scrupulous care taken in the reconstruction of real environments, now made even more immersive and engaging, enriched with meticulous attention to detail in every element of the settings, faithfully reproducing what the player would see while competing in Rally Sweden.

Among the most noticeable improvements are: the tracking system for tyre marks, redesigned to take account of the different surfaces; the advanced rendering features of the new shader, bringing out the best of the new environments and the bodywork of the cars, with an advanced Real Time reflection system; and a new camera system featuring dynamic focus effects and television-style framing during Replays.

Milestone studios are gearing up for 2015 alongside one of the biggest names in motorsport. Created in collaboration with nine-time rally world champion Sébastien Loeb, the game will feature:

• Career mode: live the life of a rally driver and compete for a place on Sébastien Loeb’s team, where he will be your mentor and guide you through all the secrets of the sport.
• Offline mode: work on your skills and perfect your driving style for a truly rewarding experience.
• Online modes: challenge friends and rivals from all over the world for endless entertainment.

Currently in development at Milestone studios in Italy, Sébastien Loeb Rally Evo will be available in autumn 2015 on Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
