Sabre Interactive completa la sua roadmap di sviluppo di Dakar Desert Rally. Dopo un lungo periodo di silenzio, come dimostrano i vari post e teaser pubblicati negli ultimi giorni, arrivano finalmente gli aggiornamenti e DLC attesi da tempo. L'update denominato Fall Update, implementa infatti in Dakar Desert Rally una miriade di aggiunte , come le modalità Foto e Replay ed il richiestissimo Roadbook Editor, che consentirà ai giocatori di impostare i propri percorsi di rally.
L’aggiornamento autunnale completa poi la tabella di marcia di sviluppo dei contenuti del 2023, con un trio di pacchetti DLC che aggiungeranno nuovi veicoli al titolo. Dopo il DLC Snowrunner Trucks Pack, dedicato ai camion dal simulatore fuoristrada, già disponibile da tempo, ecco arrivare gratuitamente lo Snowrunner Cars Pack, con modelli più piccoli come pick-up Chevrolet e varie altre auto di classe Scout.
QuoteHello, pilots! The big update for Dakar Desert Rally is finally here, adding a new feature that the community has been eager to have since the game was released, the Roadbook Editor. Patch 2.0 is bringing a range of overall game enhancements and fixes, including a new Replay and Photo Mode, and three new Vehicle Packs. You can read the full details below.
New Content
Roadbook Editor
Create your own roadbooks using the Roadbook Editor.
In the Main Menu, now you can select the “Roadbook Editor” option to create your own custom stages and events. In this option, you will be prompted to select a map to begin stage creation.
Once you select the starting point for a new roadbook, you will be spawned into the map and assume control, placing notes and editing them according to the guidelines set for the roadbook creation.
Throughout the roadbook editor process, you will receive guidance through warnings and error notifications, that will help you create a precise and accurate roadbook.
Once you finish creating your roadbook, you will need to validate and save it to be able to create an event from it.
Having created the stages and events, you can enjoy them individually, share them within the community via the Roadbook Editor’s sharing feature, or even initiate multiplayer sessions featuring these events, inviting other players to join.
Replay & Photo Mode
Replay Mode
At the conclusion of each stage, players now have the option to review their driving performance through replays. Switch between different camera angles to closely observe every detail of your race.
Photo Mode
While using the Replay feature, you can pause the reproduction of your driving and capture photos from your racing performance.

Il DLC Snowrunner è affiancato da un paio di ulteriori pacchetti auto ufficiali. Il pacchetto veicoli ibridi aggiunge molti nuovi veicoli elettrici che competono nelle attuali competizioni Rally Raid. L'Audi RS Q E-Tron già presente nel gioco, che ora diventerà gratuita per tutti, aiuta a fornire un primo assaggio di questo pacchetto. Infine, il Classic Vehicles Pack 2 ripercorre le leggende del passato di questo sport, con veicoli come il camion Porsche 959 e Tatra 815.
Nessuna notizia per ora invece, riguardo lo strumento di personalizzazione della squadra per la creazione della livrea e il DLC USA Tour, che a questo punto dovremo attendere per il 2024, sempre che arrivino, anche se al momento non sono stati smentiti (e neppure confermati).
