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.

What do you think about the Assetto Corsa EVO delay? Let us know down in the comments.

A little disappointed, but if we have to wait to have a title that works well from the beginning it is certainly better than having a game with big problems or missing parts, like others released this year.
Let's wait and hope for the best, I am confident in Kunos' work

2025 is crazy for gaming world a lot of big games will release Now one of them is AC Evo and GTA VI

It seemed strange to me to release such an important game in such a short time. Let's give time time, if they leave free access to modders with graphics and physics worthy of the name it will be the sim masterpiece of 2025! Let's wait patiently, no rush. Go Kunos!

I have a really bad feeling that when AC Evo is eventually released a lot of people are going to be disappointed due to their expectations being far too high, and it's nothing that Kunos will have done wrong.

I think this title is going to be a victim of the hype surrounding it, not from Kunos, but instead it's the community that's hyped it out of existence.

There is no way that AC Evo will release at the beginning with the same amount of content that AC ultimate has, let alone the 10 or so years of modded content that's been produced, and I think that some people are going to be very annoyed when they realise that AC Evo isn't backwards compatible with the vast library of mods they've collected over the years.

I don't believe it's going to be a bad game by any stretch of the imagination, in fact it's likely that it becomes the genre defining sim for the next decade, but I do think that peoples expectations of it are way higher than what can reasonably be delivered at release.

If I knew what I am supposed to be waiting for I suppose I could be mildly annoyed. :)
But since I have no idea what AC Evo is going to be, even dough I am a big Kunos fan, it is hard for me to have any expectations.
I will gladly buy it when it is available.

You say you have no idea what it's going to be, I think a lot of the community are feeling like that although we all have that expectation that it will be like the original AC with a mix of road and race cars.

But I'd also rather have to wait and it work well than them rush it into early access and it be broken.

Will be interesting to see if this game works on a completely ground up engine or whether it uses a lot of the original AC as a Base to start from.

It wasn't delayed...

From the first time they said the game will be released on the 1st Half of FY25 which, yes, includes January 2025...

There is a massive chance that AC Evo will experience the same as rFactor 2 indeed.

Not really bothered about the delay expected it December so another month or so is not a big deal. Hoping it runs and look better than LMU (major Disapointment) but that wouldn`t be hard tbh.
