The game will be entering an early access program, however, we do not know what this entails and how long it will last before the official release date. Early access will only be available on Steam to start with, leaving Xbox and PS5 sim racers a little in the dark.
With a one-minute, 56-second reveal trailer, we can learn some key information about the new Assetto Corsa Evo that has yet to be confirmed.
The gameplay shows a complete weather system including rain. This is a big change from the original Assetto Corsa that required rain to be modded in using SOL and RainFX mods. There is also a timelapse showing a complete day and night cycle, presumably meaning we can have changing conditions throughout a race.
The gameplay trailer showed a variety of modern GT3 cars including the Porsche 992 and Mercedes-AMG GT3 Evo. These cars will be included in the game. However, Kunos Simulazioni has confirmed that AC Evo is not a replacement for Assetto Corsa Competizione. Despite it including GT3 cars, it will not be a complete GT3 championship simulator.
