Assetto Corsa 2: Release Date Coming Soon
Explore the latest information on the upcoming release of Assetto Corsa 2 for PC and consoles.
When will Assetto Corsa 2 be Released?
Assetto Corsa 2, the direct sequel to the original Assetto Corsa, is set to be released in Spring 2024. The game is being developed by Kunos Simulazioni and published by 505 Games.
According to a Digital Bros 2021 corporate report, Assetto Corsa 2 is scheduled for an expected 2024 release. The game will feature a brand new game engine.
Platforms and Engine
Platforms other than PC are yet to be officially confirmed. However, it's reasonable to assume that Assetto Corsa 2 will launch on next-gen consoles such as PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, bypassing last-gen consoles to fully leverage the power of current-gen hardware.
One significant change in Assetto Corsa 2 is the introduction of a new in-house engine, departing from Unreal Engine 5 used in the original game. This shift suggests a renewed focus on both road cars and thoroughbred racing cars, promising a diverse car roster that can rival competitors like Gran Turismo 7 and Forza Motorsport on consoles.
As more information becomes available, the community eagerly awaits the release of Assetto Corsa 2, and in the meantime, the modding support for the original game continues to keep the experience fresh for dedicated sim racers.
What to Expect from Assetto Corsa 2
Assetto Corsa has been a popular racing simulator since its release in late 2014. It has become the darling of the online sim racing modding scene. It didn’t matter what kind of racing anyone wanted to do. If the player wanted vintage Grand Prix racing, modern day sports prototypes or even a massive dinosaur, AC could do it.
The game’s GT-racing focused cousin, Assetto Corsa Competizione, was released in 2018 and was well-received by fans. Despite being over ten years old, Assetto Corsa still has a loyal fanbase thanks to its realistic driving physics and accurately laser-scanned tracks. It’s regarded as one of the best sim racing games on console and PC.
We can expect Assetto Corsa 2 to be just as popular as its predecessor. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting new game!
