Racing genre veterans Black Bean are working on a new, officially licensed WRC title that will be released next year - the developer presumably looking to give Codemasters' array of titles some competition.

World Rally Championship will be created for the PS3, and - while the licensing behind this title remains unclear, given that are supposed to hold the official license, which is linked to 5.

Details are scant, then, but Black Bean assure that the new will be all about gritty realism, and that a pure WRC experience is planned.

We'll try to find out more on this.
