Assetto Corsa 2 is now called Assetto Cosa Evo and will come later this year – Assetto Corsa Evo

Many of us were disappointed that Kunos and 505 Games did not mention Assetto Corsa 2 in their financial forecasts for the current financial year. It led us to fear that the long-awaited sequel to Assetto Corsa would not arrive in 2024 as planned, and the recent restructuring problems at 505 Games did not bode well for the future of motorsport. But that doesn’t seem to be the case, because Assetto doesn’t just change what’s under the hood, but the entire series.

But let’s put the metaphors aside for a moment. Assetto Corsa 2 doesn’t exist, because what we’ll see later this year is Assetto Corsa Evo, a new release that, as the name suggests, takes the driving simulator to a new stage. And the strangest thing about this announcement is the way it was produced.

It turns out that yesterday’s Assetto Corsa Competizione update, which introduced a new track for the Nürburgring, also revealed a race panel with 2024 on a black background and a QR code, something you might not notice during a race. However, the Spanish simulator Heikki360ES noticed this detail in a video that you can see below.

The QR code leads to a new website where a video of Assetto Corsa Evo plays and highlights 2024 as the launch year. We expect to know more in the coming weeks, but one thing is certain: Assetto Corsa has a future, and that future is Evo.
