The Board of Directors of the Digital Bros Group has approved the latest Financial Statement as of June 2024, consequently condemning Assetto Corsa EVO's early access to January 2025.

Assetto Corsa EVO is one of the most hotly anticipated sim racing titles of 2024, but it looks like fans of the franchise are going to have to wait for the new year to try Assetto Corsa EVO.

Unfortunately, this is not the first delay for the title. The original release was rumoured to be Spring, 2024 which was then delayed to late 2024. Following this further delay, the game is looking like it is being refined and not just pushed out to the market, which if you look a the financial situation of Digital Bros, is really good to see considering the less-than-ideal situation.

Assetto Corsa EVO is vitally important for the sim racing landscape, and this delay will not come as great news for a lot of sim racers. However, it is great to see that the team behind Assetto Corsa EVO are not being forced to release the game despite it not being ready. Look to Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown as an example of how badly a launch can go if your game is not ready to hit the market.

From the launch trailer, it seems confirmed a choice of both road and racing cars, with atmospheric effects, improved physics and very nice graphics.
I hope that all of the above will be confirmed in the test of facts.

Marco Massarutto’s statements accompanying the trailer

In the words of our co-founder and director, Marco Massarutto:

" EVO is all about car culture and the love of driving. For the first time at Kunos, we have chosen a different “language” and style for the official EVO trailer, focusing on the essence of what we love.
Passion for cars is not a matter of age, experience, knowledge or opportunity: it is something that comes from within. You can love a supercar even if you will never be able to buy one. The way you express your passion, whether it is a poster in your room, playing with RC cars, driving in a simulator or a real car, does not matter; it is entirely up to you. EVO is just one of those ways. Some of us start as children, some as teenagers, some as adults. It does not matter: the passion for cars has no limits. We are offering our fans a driving and racing simulation that, regardless of what they are looking for, if are car enthusiasts, they will love it. "

We know you've been eagerly awaiting the news about the Early Access launch, and trust us, we've been working hard to make sure everything meets our high standards. At KUNOS, we believe in taking the time to get things right, which is why Early Access for Assetto Corsa EVO will officially begin on January 16, 2025.

We can't wait for you to try out what we've put so much care into, and we're confident it will be worth the wait!
 
From the trailer it looks very similar to the original. Which is fine just hope they manage to keep the performance rate as high as AC1 is with all the fancy effects you can run in content manager with csp etc. Because if they haven't then they've missed the mark massively.
