Behind the scenes of Dakar Desert Rally's development | S5 E4

The Traxion Podcast - Racing video games, esports and sim racing

Paulo Gomes, Studio and Game Director at Saber Porto is joining us today. It’s developing the upcoming racing game and simulation Dakar Desert Rally, and we had a chat at the Gamescom show recently.

Hopefully, you’ll be able to gather Paulo’s passion and dedication for this project, a brand new officially licenced title for the real-world Dakar rally raid.

Set in an open-world Saudi Arabian environment, it mixes five vehicle categories – truck, car, motorcycle, quad bike and SSV – plus the past three seasons of competitors within Sport, Professional and Simulation modes.

The game launches on 4th October for PC, PlayStation and Xbox and we’ll hopefully have a full review and final verdict soon. For now, though, let’s hear more about its genesis.

If you have any topics for us to discuss on upcoming episodes, or questions about F1 Esports, email [e-mail].
