505 Games and KUNOS Simulazioni announce Assetto Corsa EVO will race into Early Access on Steam on January 16th, launching a new entry in this motorsport series. This is promised to be "unlike any racing sim seen on any generation," featuring a full 24-hour race-cycle, dynamic weather and track conditions, cutting-edge lighting, and photorealistic visuals. Here's the Announcement Trailer with a look and an extensive explanation of what the game ISN'T about. Here's more:

As with its predecessor, Assetto Corsa EVO will include cars from different classes spanning years of motoring history. From road cars, classics, hypercars, and race cars, each vehicle is reproduced through KUNOS’ advanced system that simulates mechanical, electronic, and aerodynamic performance, raising the bar of realism even higher than Assetto Corsa, arguably one of the most popular driving simulations of the last decade.

Assetto Corsa EVO represents a major leap forward of the Assetto Corsa universe, offering a significantly enriched sim-racing experience. This latest instalment introduces a wealth of features and gameplay modes, only made possible by KUNOS’ new proprietary engine - designed specifically for the racing and automotive genre.
