Assetto Corsa EVO, the latest evolution in the Assetto Corsa series, will be available on Steam Early Access starting January 16th, 2025. The new keynote video reveals additional details about the game's open-world aspect, which faithfully recreates the Eifel region in Germany surrounding the Nürburgring motorsports complex. The open-world map will be released in stages during the Early Access period and will progressively expand over time.

The open-world area will allow players to interact with local businesses, rent cars, and upgrade vehicles with aftermarket parts. The game will maintain the realism and accuracy that the Assetto Corsa franchise is known for, with advanced weather and track conditions, highly detailed circuits, and cutting-edge physics.

Assetto Corsa EVO will include 20 cars and 5 circuits across 4 continents in the Early Access release, with 100 cars and at least 15 officially licensed circuits expected in the 1.0 version, set to release in Fall 2025. Players can now wishlist the game on Steam and join the Early Access program to experience the game months ahead of its official release at a reduced price.

Assetto Corsa EVO is the sequel to Assetto Corsa, one of the most popular driving simulations of the last decade, and will include cars from different classes spanning years of motoring history. The game's new proprietary engine supports a full 24-hour race cycle, cutting-edge lighting, dynamic weather, and track conditions, and photorealistic visuals.

In conclusion, Assetto Corsa EVO promises to offer a significantly enriched sim-racing experience, with a wealth of features and gameplay modes, and is a must-watch for automotive and racing enthusiasts.
