Exciting News from Kunos Simulazioni
Driving simulation enthusiasts have reason to celebrate! Kunos Simulazioni, the renowned studio behind the beloved Assetto Corsa series, has officially announced that the upcoming title, Assetto Corsa EVO, will feature a vast open-world map. This expansive environment will faithfully replicate the stunning Eifel region surrounding the world-famous Nürburgring racetrack.
A Sneak Peek into the Open World
According to details shared on Kunos’ official website, players can expect to explore this immersive map in mid-2025, specifically during the summer months in the Northern Hemisphere. The open-world experience will be rolled out in stages, ultimately covering an impressive 1,600 square kilometers. As the map expands, Kunos promises to introduce new features and content, ensuring that the driving experience remains fresh and engaging.
Unparalleled Realism and Detail
One of the standout features of this new map is its meticulous design. Kunos has utilized advanced laser-scanning technology to create a landscape that boasts “unmatched detail.” This level of realism is set to enhance the immersion for players, making them feel as though they are truly navigating the breathtaking Eifel region.
Community Engagement and Local Business Partnerships
In an exciting twist, Kunos is inviting local businesses around the Nürburgring to collaborate with them. Players will have the opportunity to engage with these businesses in-game, renting cars and customizing vehicles at actual local outlets. This initiative not only enhances the gaming experience but also fosters a sense of community within the simulation.
Early Access and Future Releases
Assetto Corsa EVO is set to launch on PC in Early Access starting January 16, 2025. While console versions are on the horizon, players will need to wait until the game exits its Early Access phase for those releases. This staggered rollout allows the developers to refine the experience based on player feedback.
Stay Tuned for More Updates
As the release date approaches, fans of the series can expect more information and updates from Kunos Simulazioni. With the promise of an expansive, detailed open world, Assetto Corsa EVO is shaping up to be an exciting addition to the driving simulation genre.
