‘Assetto Corsa Evo’ Reveal Launch Cars, Tracks, and Early Access Plan
KUNOS Simulazioni has just dropped a developer update video for Assetto Corsa Evo, providing us with the first look at the game’s initial launch content. According to the latest information, the game will initially be available on Steam Early Access on January 16th.
When it does, players can expect access to an initial roster of 20 cars from multiple manufacturers, including the likes of BMW, Audi, and Ferrari. The vehicles are spread across various classes, providing a range of options for single class races. However, this early release may limit the availability of certain race types at launch.
The tracks list is more specific, with five courses from four continents that will be available to play at launch. These include iconic circuits such as Laguna Seca (USA), Brands Hatch (UK), Imola (Italy), Mount Panorama (Australia), and Suzuka (Japan). Although the initial track selection may lack some big names, the full version of Assetto Corsa Evo is expected to feature up to 15 officially licensed tracks.
In terms of game modes, players will have access to the first part of the single-player campaign, which includes practice sessions, quick races, and a driving academy. The latter appears to be an innovative new feature that aims to educate players on different parts of the track by breaking it down into manageable sections.
Unfortunately, the open-world component of the game, which recreates the area surrounding Germany’s famous Nürburgring, will not be available in the Early Access build. Instead, this part of the experience is expected to launch later in the year, likely around the summer period.
The full release of Assetto Corsa Evo remains targeted for a Fall 2025 window, though it is essential to note that no guarantees can be made regarding the game’s delivery timeline. The community’s input will undoubtedly play a significant role in shaping the title’s development moving forward.
For now, fans of driving simulations seem set to receive a solid foundation to build upon with the Early Access launch. As more information becomes available, we’ll be sure to keep you updated.
