Publisher 505 Games and developer KUNOS Simulazioni have announced a release date for Assetto Corsa EVO, the latest in their car racing simulation series.

Assetto Corsa EVO is set to launch in early access for Windows PC (via Steam) on January 16th, 2025.

“We know you’ve been eagerly awaiting news on Assetto Corsa EVO launch, and trust us —we’ve been working hard to make sure everything meets our high standards,” Marco Massarutto, KUNOS Simulazioni co-founder and Executive Manager said in a press release. “Here at KUNOS, we believe in taking the time to get things just right, and that’s why the Early Access for Assetto Corsa EVO will officially begin on January 16, 2025.”

He added, “Our goal is to ensure the quality that all sim racing enthusiasts rightfully expect from a title like Assetto Corsa EVO. We would like to express our sincere gratitude for the continuous and extraordinary support received from our community. We look  forward to sharing more exciting news on the project soon!”

Here’s a rundown on the game, plus a first look at gameplay from the game:

As with its predecessor, Assetto Corsa EVO will include cars from different classes spanning years of motoring history. From road cars, classics, hypercars, and race cars, each vehicle is reproduced through KUNOS’ advanced system that simulates mechanical, electronic, and aerodynamic performance, raising the bar of realism even higher than Assetto Corsa, arguably one of the most popular driving simulations of the last decade.

Assetto Corsa EVO represents a major leap forward of the Assetto Corsa universe, offering a significantly enriched sim-racing experience. This latest instalment introduces a wealth of features and gameplay modes, only made possible by KUNOS’ new proprietary engine – designed specifically for the racing and automotive genre. 

Supporting a full 24 hr race cycle, cutting-edge lighting, dynamic weather and track conditions and photorealistic visuals, Assetto Corsa EVO will be unlike any racing sim seen on any generation.
