For enthusiasts of automobile simulators, January 16, 2025, marks a historic day. Kunos Simulazioni Studios will launch Assetto Corsa EVO on Steam in early access, offering an exhilarating experience for racing fans. At launch, players will have access to 20 meticulously detailed cars and 5 iconic tracks: Imola, Brands Hatch, Bathurst, Laguna Seca, and Suzuka. Despite being in early access, the developers promise already impressive physics, control, and realistic car behavior, setting a high standard for what's to come.

A standout feature of the game is the free-ride mode, allowing players to explore at their leisure. A major update planned for the summer of 2025 will introduce roads around the renowned Nürburgring track. This update will feature a fully laser-scanned open world spanning up to 1600 square kilometers, which will be gradually expanded to offer even more content.

Assetto Corsa EVO aims to be the pinnacle of car simulators, ready to challenge industry giants like Gran Turismo and Forza Motorsport. It boasts photorealistic graphics and advanced physics that promise to deliver an unparalleled driving experience. At its debut, the game will include 100 vehicles and 15 tracks, with plans for more to be added through future free updates. Each circuit will meticulously replicate real-world conditions, from rolling tires to wet pavement, and feature animated spectators to enhance realism.

The developers have also enhanced the dynamics, suspension damping, and shock absorption of the automobiles, ensuring a more authentic feel. The Driving Academy mode, available at Early Access, will challenge players to complete laps within specific time limits on the aforementioned tracks. This single-player activity aims to help players earn a license, granting access to the game's top-tier cars.
