Assetto Corsa Evo is about to be released. But what do we know about the long-awaited spin-off of the famous racing simulator?
This has been highly anticipated for a long time! It seems like it will be a true breakthrough in the racing series that will create a sensation within the gaming community. Of course, it’s difficult to say this with complete certainty, but judging by the trailer, it really looks like something new!
So today we would like to talk about modding in Assetto Corsa Evo — will mods be available for this game, what changes are expected in this area, and overall, what should we anticipate. Naturally, the game will include stock tracks and cars. But we all know why we love this game so much, right? That’s why we’d like to start by discussing the topic of mods for the upcoming sequel of Kunos Simulazioni's premier racing simulator. So, what are we waiting for? It’s time to find out!
Will modding be available in Assetto Corsa Evo?
Marco Massarutto — co-founder and executive director of Kunos Simulazioni — mentioned that new technologies are being developed that are expected to fundamentally transform the game. He also hinted that there’s a good chance they’ll create an intuitive mod editor, so that players and skilled modders can create modifications for AC Evo, just like in previous installments of the series.
In a brief interview with a publication, Marco mentioned that the company is dissatisfied with the current state of modding in Assetto Corsa. Mods for their game are often converted from other games and misused on various sites. After all, the idea behind modding is not to copy someone else’s content but to create something original.This is precisely why the developers are determined to work diligently in this direction to prevent the dishonest use of mods for Assetto Corsa Evo.
It’s still unclear what this means — will the game have only an official mod repository, like Bethesda’s Creation Club, or will the developers also allow third-party mods from other sites? However, the likelihood that modding will be possible in AC Evo is very high.
According to the creators, they are currently more focused on the game itself. So, we can only wait for official information from Kunos to bring more clarity to the situation.
