Sega Rally for the PSP is being developed by racing game specialists Bugbear Entertainment for release this September.

Already announced for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 video and PC, Sega says Sega Rally on the PSP encapsulates everything its predecessors laid out when defining the rally genre: amazing visuals, superb handling and closely fought competitive racing.

"These three key features have been the chassis of development for Sega Rally on the PSP, combining to bring players a thrilling ride through jaw dropping environments and against competitive AI, all alongside an instinctive handling system that rewards players for pushing their rally-racing skills to the very limit."

"The original Sega Rally is heralded as one of the all time great video games and this new instalment on the PSP is a great example of updating a classic perfectly for today’s machines,” said Guy Wilday, Studio Director, Sega Racing Studio. “With the addition of multiplayer Wi-Fi and online multiplayer, there’s scope for players to show off their skills against their friends, whilst the excellent PSP screen exudes all the visual qualities expected of Sega Rally”.

Built from scratch, Sega Rally on PSP has been developed by Bugbear with guidance from Sega Racing Studio.
