After a rocky launch, KUNOS Simulazioni’s Assetto Corsa EVO is on more solid footing with Special Events, Driving Academy and more available for early access players. However, there’s much more to come, which executive Manager and studio co-founder Marco Massarutto outlines in a new video.
These include Open Mode, which won’t require being online to drive, and the new Career Mode. The latter will combine “progression, in-game economy, and the Driving Academy,” and you won’t need an online connection to play it. Special Events will be available in both modes, though internet connectivity is required.
Technical improvements for performance on VR and triple-screen set-ups, AI behavior (with skill level affecting their tactics), a revamped UI for AI driver grids, a new Custom Race Weekend option, and multiplayer. The latter is undergoing internal testing and will launch this Summer for players, offering “redesigned netcode” and “ongoing improvements for a stable and competitive online experience.”
Finally, KUNOS will deliver “highly requested cars” (like open-wheelers) much sooner and implement modding tools during early access instead of after. Stay tuned for an updated roadmap.
Assetto Corsa EVO is available for PC via Steam Early Access. Check out our impressions here.
