It is not a secret that Assetto Corsa Ultimate is one of the most used (and modded) racing games to simulate rally stages. For more than a decade, people have done almost everything on the sim to recreate hillclimbs, special stages, Dakar sections, or whatever you could have in mind. Now it is time to enjoy (we hope) with a very official release.
Digital Bros and Kunos Simulazione have decided to expand the franchise with a new spin-off, simultaneously to the Assetto Corsa EVO development, and to be sourced to Supernova Games. Until this moment, we have many promises, wonderful screenshots, and a very short trailer for a title which should be in Early Access state next month: November 13 at an introductory price of €29.99 ($29.99/£24.99/CN¥128/JP¥3,400)
From a technical view, it is difficult to understand why UE 5 has been the chosen engine for this adventure, due to the difficult development the studio suffered in Assetto Corsa Competizione , but anyway, we will see how this long Early Access period (12-18 months announced) develops. Below you have the announcement trailer and all the official info published until now.
Make or Break
Assetto Corsa Rally delivers high-stakes driving, with a professional co-driver providing detailed pace notes that guide every turn. Dynamic conditions, including surface grip, weather, and time of day, constantly shape your decisions, while day-night cycles and shifting weather affect both the roads and crowd reactions, creating a living, immersive world.
Physics-driven damage and destructible environments make each stage unpredictable, ensuring that skill and adaptability are always tested. Players can enjoy a variety of experiences, from tackling a single rally stage or a full rally weekend, to competing in Assetto Corsa Rally Events or Time Attack, both featuring online leaderboards. For those who prefer to hone their skills at their own pace, Free Practice mode is also available.
Race Together
Assetto Corsa EVO multiplayer, introduced with Release 0.3 of the Early Access program, delivers competitive and immersive racing experiences worldwide. Each session hosts up to 16 drivers and offers scenarios ranging from road cars to Formula cars. The platform, developed with SIATI, ensures stable sessions and a precise, globally accessible multiplayer experience, faithful to the simulation, where every corner and every overtake matters, with races suitable for all skill levels.
Scanned to Reality
In Assetto Corsa Rally, tracks and cars are recreated with 3D laser scanning, ensuring unmatched visual realism. Every detail, from drivetrain behavior to surface wear, reflects uncompromising authenticity. Drivers, crowds, and environments are crafted with equal care, immersing players in a striking visual experience. Powered by a customized version of Unreal Engine 5, tailored to the needs of a racing game, every dust particle and reflection contributes to full immersion in the rally world.
Rally like never before
Assetto Corsa Rally merges real rally intensity with unmatched mechanical depth. Based on a refined version of Assetto Corsa’s physics engine, it delivers realistic dynamics for FWD (Front-Wheel Drive), RWD (Rear-Wheel Drive), and AWD (All-Wheel Drive) cars. Advanced damage, precise handling of rough surfaces, modular drivetrains, custom suspensions, and enhanced collisions make every drift and impact a challenge. AC Rally is not just a game but a precision simulation for those who live rally.
Authentic Sound
In Assetto Corsa Rally, sound is crafted for total immersion. From roaring engines and squealing tires to gravel crunch and high-speed wind, every detail delivers authentic feedback. Each sound has been recorded from real cars, capturing acceleration, braking, and drifting both inside and outside the cockpit, and then finely tuned to match vehicle type, surface, and environment. Co-driver pacenotes, developed in collaboration with professional co-drivers and featuring their original voices, add another layer of realism and intensity. Ambient audio, from crowd reactions to shifting weather, completes a breathtaking soundscape, turning every stage into a true acoustic performance.
Play Your Way
AC Rally is designed for maximum compatibility and flexibility, offering a fully personalized driving experience. It supports triple-screen setups, advanced racing wheels, pedals, shifters, and other peripherals, with optimized profiles.
