The name of the ‘second Assetto Corsa’ is believed to be ‘Evo’, following a teaser inside Competizione’s Nürburgring Nordschleife DLC.
UPDATE April 2, 2024:
A day after the ACC Nordschleife release, the new name for the highly-anticipated successor has been made official via the official Assetto Corsa X account. A post on the social media platform confirms that the new title is indeed going to be called Assetto Corsa Evo. The newsletter subscription widget now also works.

Today is the day, for April Fool’s jokes – although 505 Games and Kunos Simulazioni didn’t get the memo, as they released the 24H Nürburgring Pack for Assetto Corsa Competizione and the name for its next project.
Assetto Corsa Evo.
The mysterious banner in the new Nürburgring 24H layout within Assetto Corsa Competizione
When driving the Nürburgring 24H layout in the new DLC, on the Grand Prix Loop on the outside of the Michelin-Kurve you will see a billboard. It displayed ‘2024’ in large font, followed by a QR code.
Scan that with your phone and you are taken to a landing page for ‘Assetto Corsa Evo’ with the tagline “driving simulation evolved.”

While Evo is believed to be the designated title for the much-anticipated sequel to the 2014 driving simulation, Kunos nor 505 Games was able to confirm at this time.
Not much else is known at this point, other than financial documents as recently as last month slating the next Assetto Corsa game for a PC early access release in Summer 2024, and prior statements confirming a console launch later.
“The new Assetto Corsa is going to follow what we did with Assetto Corsa 1,” said Executive Manager at developer Kunos Simulazioni, Marco Massarutto, to OverTake in March.
“Yet, it is not just a sequel, it is much, much, more. It’s definitely not a spin-off like Competizione.”
The countdown begins...
