We’re back, and we’re packed!
Good evening folks! As we had mentioned in our last post over two weeks ago, we were busy preparing an analysis of all the pictures, videos, and gameplay segments Kylotonn has shown about V-Rally 4. Due to the amount of information having been released already, as well as the V-Rally 4 gameplay videos that have come out from various news sites and YouTubers, this analysis will be split into three parts. Part 1: The Events will cover the countries, stages, and environments the player will find themselves in when racing in V-Rally 4. Part 2: The Machines will cover the known vehicles and disciplines that V-Rally 4 has. Part 3: The Driving will be an attempt at analyzing as much of the gameplay as possible from all the video footage available to us and on the internet.
Part 1 will be published today alongside this post, whilst Part 2 and Part 3 will be posted later this coming week.
Part 1: The Events
V-Rally 4 was long confirmed to be a world-trotting racing adventure, going from the heart of Africa in Kenya to the peaks of Asia in China and the forests of the Midwest in the United States. Since the reveal, showcasing 3 distinct locations, including an abandoned airfield, a rallycross circuit and a rally stage running through the Sequoia Forest in California, USA, we have gotten confirmation and pictures on a variety of locations that we will be able to race through in the full release!
The biggest confirmation of the variety of locations, however, came from the demo booth V-Rally 4 and Kylotonn had on this year’s E3:

Though this map is in and of itself interesting, its gameplay significance will be analyzed in Part 3 of this analysis. What we can take from this map is that there is a big emphasis on events in the United States. This is from a pre-beta build, and the locations chosen are very limited. compared are lots more locations to be discovered and lots more places for us to go throughout our tour.
An interesting feature of the world map from this early footage that we have is that there aren’t a lot of traditional European events marked on the map yet. The only one that can be spotted is the UK, and the event there is a V-RallyCross event. This is a pretty big departure from previous V-Rally games, which featured a very large amount of European events, with the most egregious example being V-Rally 3; the last entry in the series featured a total of 6 events, 5 of which were in Europe.
Speaking of events retained from the last entry, Kenya makes a return, both as a rally event and a buggy event. Alongside Kenya, newcomers include a possible event in Thailand (at the time of writing, it has not been confirmed if it’s Thailand or Malaysia) and two events in China. Finally, there are several events in the Americas - one in South America in Bolivia and 4 in North America in the United States. The States in particular have the most type of events, including rally events, extreme-khana and hillclimb.
Whilst we await further news from Kylotonn, it is time to go on a tour across the different locales V-Rally 4 will take us through!
Our first destination is Monument Valley
Monument Valley is a red-sand desert region found right between the borders of the states of Arizona and Utah, and is characterized by its awe-inspiring sandstone buttes. Monument Valley, or Tsé Biiʼ Ndzisgaii (Valley of the Rocks) in the native Navajo language, will let the players tackle this cornerstone of the American West, racing through the narrow, sand-covered roads in entangling stages to the top and the bottom.
This location was also featured in the recent E3 demo booth V-Rally 4 was showcased in. You can see it showcased in gameplay videos here and here. The stages featured follow the Rally Discipline, indicating the event may be exclusive to rally. The stages themselves seem to be loose and fast, leading into very fast flowing sections with some occasional slower technical sections. We could consider it a rocky Finland, going through breath-taking and heart-stopping backdrops, maintaining your car across long straights and turns whilst the cliff lies only 5 meters to your side.
Important note: the footage and the demo were taken from a pre-Beta version of the game. It has been confirmed that the co-driver voice as well as the pacenotes and a lot of other graphical and gameplay things have been fixed in the current build the devs are working on.
The next location our globe-trotting rallying adventure takes us are the Bolivian Rainforests
Bolivia is located in South America, neighbours Brazil, Peru, Argentina, Chille and Paraguay, and is home to several different biomes, from the mountaintops of the Andes to the lush forests of the Amazon. Its rich geographical beauty lends a stunning locale deep within the Bolivian forests for V-Rally 4, where the players will be able to take their vehicles and race around and across the Amazon, surrounded by the rich fauna and flora around them.
The Bolivian Rainforest seems to be geared towards the Buggy discipline. Players can expect a lot of rocky rides going up and down the streams of the river trying to get an edge on their opponents. Just remember to mind the trees when you go through the big jumps!
After Bolivia, we head back to the States and into the much acclaimed Sequoia Forest
The Sequoia National Forest is located in Southern Nevada, California. Home to the impressive giant trees of the same name, the Sequoia National Forest is a host to a number of recreational activities and several thousand miles of road, perfect for any aspiring driver to blaze amidst trees several thousands years old.
Little is known about what type of events the Sequoia Forest will include, but it is safe to assume a lot of dirt roads will be utilized sideways as the players will be racing against the clock in modern and traditional rally cars.
Our final destination for tonight will take us further north to Mount Rainier
Mount Rainier is the highest mountain of the Cascade Range of the Pacific Northwest, and an active stratovolcano too. Found deep in the heart of the state of Washington, the volcano is known as Tahoma or Tacoma in the language of the Salish peoples, and is also on the list of the Decade Volcanoes, volcanoes under watch by the international community due to their dangerous proximity to populated areas. A pretty fitting explosive combination for the players to blast their vehicles along the winding roads at 300 kilometers per hour.
Mount Rainier has been confirmed to include the Hillclimb Discipline, and the wide roads going through the forest definitely have a hint of modern Pikes Peak to them. As footage of it has not been observed to be online as of yet, we are going to assume that you should expect a lot of fast flowing sections with some technical sections thrown in for good measure.
And that about wraps up the first part of our analysis! Tune in this Tuesday for Part 2: The Machines, where we’ll analyze all the cars that have been confirmed for V-Rally 4!
In the meantime, what do you think of the locations so far presented by the V-Rally team? Which rally are you the most excited to race at? Let us know in the reblogs, or by joining our V-Rally People Discord Server and Facebook Group, or follow us on Twitter to receive the latest news on V-Rally 4!

I understand that a lot of fans of sports games have tuned out of the genre after companies like 2K Games and Electronic Arts forced fans into anagapesis for the genre due to all the microtransaction shenanigans in games like NBA 2K and gambling-style antics with the whole FIFAUltimate Team scams, but Bigben Interactive’s NACON and Big Ant Studios are hoping to settle down the fiery tempers and…
