In early April, Kunos Simulazioni announced that the sequel to the legendary Assetto Corsa will not be named Assetto Corsa 2 but Assetto Corsa Evo, marking an evolution of the series. The original game, a decade old, boasts sales exceeding 30,000 copies and maintains a strong community of modders and online racers across PCs and consoles.
Assetto Corsa Evo is nearing release, with pre-orders already appearing locally. It is likely targeted for a launch in late spring 2024, likely around June or July, initially for PC. But these are our speculations; this has yet to be confirmed lately, and only 2024 is.
Despite recent layoffs at some European branches of its parent group, Digital Bros, Kunos Simulazioni remains productive. They recently added a highly praised Nürburgring Nordschleife DLC to Assetto Corsa Competizioni.
The upcoming Assetto Corsa Evo will utilize Kunos Simulazioni’s proprietary engine, returning to the roots of the original game rather than the Unreal Engine used in Competizioni. Expectations include features like dynamic weather, which is now standard in racing games. With its distinct Italian flair and physics, Assetto Corsa Evo is poised to captivate fans just as the first game did. We eagerly anticipate its release in the coming months.
