Racingsiten Overtake har intervjuat chefen för Reiza Studios för att få veta mer om planerna för racingsimulatorn Automobilista 2 under 2025. Till skillnad från förra året då man släppte endast tre uppdateringar (varav en den mycket omfattande ombyggnationen 1.6) avser Reiza att under det här året dunka ut mängder av nyheter. Vi kommer dock inte att få uppleva karriärläget under det här året (heller) vilket innebär att Automobilista 2 funnits på marknaden i sex års tid utan att det utlovade "career mode" dykt upp.
Renato Simioni:
"We have a lot of licenses that we scored last year, so you may expect 2025 to be more frenetic in terms of pace for updates. It's not going to be like last year. We had one big update and a couple of smaller ones, but we are going back to how it was in previous years. The game is in a different state. Now, it is at a solid enough point that we can focus on the details a little more. The game is going to grow substantially this year. We want to full out the collection to make it as complete as possible. Many of the existing classes are going to receive new cars, and we will have some new classes in areas that we haven't explored before."
"It was always said that there will be a career mode in Automobilista 2, which is a way to connect all this assorted content that we have. That's why we need other content in there, and that is why it's going to be one of the last things we do. I don't expect it will see the light of day in 2025. We need to deliver all the content, and it needs to be working well, because career mode is going to be experienced in singleplayer. So the AI needs to be on a certain level for it to work best, because a career mode that's just a progression with races that are not really engaging and with incosistent levels of challenge - what is it worth, really?"
AMS2 är idag ett alldeles lysande racingspel som dräller av varierat innehåll.
