Reiza has released the new Hockenheimring Pack with the last news and de new update V1.0.1.0 with the last features. More detailed information below by Renato Simioni:
Host of the German GP 37 times, the Hockenheimring is one of the tracks with the richest heritage in the world of motorsports. Historically known for its bygone classic layout with long straights through the surrounding forests, the track was reformed for the 2002 German GP, becoming much shorter modern circuit but retaining a high speed, flowing nature perfectly suited for wheel-to-wheel racing with all types of cars.
This pack features 4 distinct versions of this legendary track from 4 different decades – 1977, 1988, 2001 and 2020, along with extra modern layouts (National, Short A & B).
This the first DLC to be released for Automobilista 2, and it is FREE to all current AMS2 owners and for those who purchase AMS2 over the weekend (July 24-25-26 2020) – by July 27th the Hockenheimring Pack will be sold as an independent DLC to AMS2, and also as part of the 2020-2021 Season Pass.
For those who have already purchased the Season Pass, be assured its value will be preserved with the addition of a 6th DLC pack to the five originally included in that package.
Along with the Hockenheimring we are also deploying the first major update post V1 release – similar updates around this time of the month will be a regular fixture for the foreseeable future.
The exception will be in August when we are releasing not one but two two major updates (including a LOT of new content) at the beginning and end of the month.
The next update (scheduled for August 7th) will feature substantial developments to championship mode and introduce portuguese, spanish & french localization.
We remind all users that AMS2 is a long term project that will continue to evolve and expand in a monthly basis for years to come – all fronts of the game will still have major improvements, with a lot of it to make it in before the end of the year. If you want to learn more about what´s incoming make sure to check out our July Development Update next week, where we will expand on these plans including some great content announcements!
