Experience the evolution of Sim Racing – Assetto Corsa EVO available to buy now
CALABASAS, Calif. – January 16th, 2025: Global Publisher 505 Games and developer KUNOS Simulazioni are pleased to announce that Assetto Corsa EVO, the latest evolution of the popular Assetto Corsa series, debuts today on Steam in Early Access for €39.99 | $39.99 | £32.99 with an additional launch discount of 20% off for a limited time.
Assetto Corsa EVO is the long-awaited sequel of Assetto Corsa, one of the most popular driving simulations of the last decade. As with its predecessor, Assetto Corsa EVO includes cars from different classes spanning years of motoring history. From road cars, classics, hypercars, and race cars, each vehicle is reproduced through the technology developed by KUNOS that simulates mechanical, electronic, and aerodynamic performance, evolving even more driving realism compared with Assetto Corsa.
“In these wonderful eleven years, first with Assetto Corsa and later with Assetto Corsa Competizione, we have always tried our best to offer our community the most rewarding simulation and competitive driving experience possible. Finally, after four years of development, we have reached the launch of the Early Access version of Assetto Corsa EVO, certainly our most ambitious project ever,” commented Marco Massarutto, co-founder and Executive Manager of KUNOS Simulazioni.
“However, this important milestone represents even more a new starting point, thanks to your support, to make Assetto Corsa EVO the racing simulation that our great community has been eagerly awaiting. During the Early Access period, we will work to provide constant updates of content and modes, refining the experience based on the valuable feedback received from the community to give our title its best possible shape when it will be released in its full version this autumn.”
Assetto Corsa EVO represents a major leap forward in the Assetto Corsa universe, offering a significantly enriched sim-racing experience. This latest installment introduces a wealth of features and gameplay modes, made possible only by KUNOS’ new proprietary engine, designed specifically for the racing and automotive genre. Supporting a full 24-hour race cycle, cutting-edge lighting, dynamic weather and track conditions, photo-realistic visuals and full support of VR and triple-screen, Assetto Corsa EVO introduces a new generation of driving sims.
Assetto Corsa EVO is finally available in Early Access, with an anticipated 1.0 launch date of Fall 2025. The 1.0 version will include 100 cars, 15 officially licensed circuits with 5 more tracks which will follow after launch as free updates.
Between the launch of Early Access and the release of 1.0, new features, vehicles, cars, tracks, and game modes will be added regularly including Multiplayer mode and the long-awaited Open World map which faithfully recreates the iconic Eifel region in Germany that surrounds the legendary motorsports complex, the Nürburgring.
The first Early Access build now available includes 20 cars from several classes and 5 circuits across 4 Continents: Laguna Seca (America), Brands Hatch and Imola (Europe), Mount Panorama (Australia) and Suzuka (Japan).
The game modes in this first Early Access build focus on the single player, featuring Practice sessions, Quick Races, and the Driving Academy, along with special events: Hotstint and Test Drive. The Driving Academy is a new entry in the Assetto Corsa world and allows players to progressively learn sections of each track, driving a wide range of different cars in iconic challenges.
This mode allows players to experience the first release of in-game economy and progression features – which KUNOS will continue to improve, balance and expand upon during the Early Access phase – to obtain the driving licenses needed to access more powerful cars, and collect experience points and in-game credits that can be spent to start their collector’s journey,
