Get ready, racing fans! Kunos Simulazioni Studios is bringing Assetto Corsa EVO to Steam Early Access on January 16, 2025.
Initially, players will experience 20 meticulously detailed cars and 5 iconic tracks: Imola, Brands Hatch, Bathurst, Laguna Seca, and Suzuka. Even in Early Access, expect highly realistic physics, precise handling, and authentic car behavior.
A standout feature is the free-roam mode, allowing for unrestricted exploration. A significant summer 2025 update promises a massive addition: a fully laser-scanned open world encompassing the legendary Nürburgring and its surrounding roads, initially spanning 1600 square kilometers, with planned expansions.
Assetto Corsa EVO aims to challenge industry leaders like Gran Turismo and Forza Motorsport, boasting photorealistic visuals and cutting-edge physics.
The full release will feature 100 vehicles and 15 tracks, with more content planned via free post-launch updates. Expect accurate track representations, including dynamic tire wear, wet surfaces, and animated spectators for an immersive experience.
Enhanced vehicle dynamics, suspension, and shock absorption systems further refine the driving experience. The Early Access version will include Driving Academy mode, featuring timed challenges on select tracks, culminating in a license to unlock top-tier vehicles. This mode is a key single-player component of the Early Access release.
