Uppföljaren till det idag tio (!) år gamla Assett Corsa stavas Evo och det var först tänkt att italienska Kunos skulle rulla ut en early access-version nu i december men istället vet vi nu säkert att det sker den 16:e januari, efter närmare fem års utveckling. Assetto Corsa Evo släpps enbart till PC, då, och baseras på en helt ny, egenutvecklad grafikteknologi samt en ny fysikmotor signerat Kunos Simulazioni. Dagens trailer visar upp merparten gatbilar vilket lär vara fokuset här då, med tanke på att stickspåret Assetto Corsa Competizione enbart innehåller GTWC-tävlingskärror, istället.
Saxat ur den officiella pressreleasen:
"Assetto Corsa EVO redefines the realism and features of one of the most popular multiplatform driving simulations ever developed. As with its predecessor, Assetto Corsa EVO will include cars from different classes spanning across years of motoring history. From road cars, classics, hypercars, and race cars. The most iconic representation of the automotive and motorsport world. Each vehicle is reproduced through an advanced system that simulates mechanical, electronic, and aerodynamic performance, combined with the fidelity of the circuits created using Laserscan technology. Assetto Corsa EVO raises the bar of realism that has made the franchise one of the most popular driving simulations of the last decade even higher.
With the launch of a new KUNOS Simulazioni proprietary, high-performance photorealistic engine, VR and triple screen support have become first-class features and the new mathematical model meticulously simulates asphalt performance in different dynamic weather conditions that guarantees an authentic and realistic experience which will redefine the standards that have made Assetto Corsa globally renowned."
