Kunos Simulazioni and 505 Games have outlined their current development roadmap for the console version of Assetto Corsa, promising fans the tomorrows new build will bring the simulation much closer to the PC code base and should allow future developments to be brought to the game much quicker than has been the case at present.
Alongside the proposed update to build 1.9, Kunos have also revealed the first of three Porsche DLC packages is due to be brought to the game, hopefully landing as soon as tomorrow for PlayStation 4 gamers. Sadly Xbox One players will have to wait a little longer for their first taste of Porsche in the sim, as an unforeseen issue has pushed back the update and DLC past the deadline for a release tomorrow. Kunos and 505 Games are not yet in a position to give out a revised update for Xbox One, however they have promised to continue working on the update and will share the new schedule in the near future.
