Since its Early Access PC origins, it blossomed into one of the most popular racing simulator platforms available, spawning several downloadable content packs, racing esports championships plus PlayStation and Xbox versions.įresh content is still being released, with the Challengers Pack recently adding five new cars and a track pack scheduled for later this year. While GT4 cars and single-make GT cars are available, it’s that main Cup Grand Touring Cars class that remains its forte. The Unreal Engine at the time was a big question mark but we decided that it would be a good idea.”Īs we know, this proved to be a big success, with Kunos partnering with the SRO Motorsports Group to create an official game of the venerated GT3 motorsport series.Īssetto Corsa Competizione is unabashed in its singular GT3 focus.
“In order to test a very new engine to us – it was a jump in in the dark, especially for a very sophisticated racing game – we wanted to create a simulation with far fewer than 200 cars and too many tracks. So, it was looking like Unreal was a good choice for us. “Also, other companies like Milestone decided to move to Unreal Engine 4. SimBin at the time claimed that they were going and KartKraft. But the core of the engine was written by Stefan himself and for the future, we wanted to expand the responsibilities in the team. Then eventually other programmers came and they wrote very good contributions to the game with new features. “If you think that wrote the 95 per cent of the Assetto Corsa code. Myself from a management point of view and Stefano from a technological point of view,” explained Marco Massarutto, co-founder of the studio on the Traxion.GG Podcast. “The problem was that at the time the Kunos team was too dependent on Stefano Casillo and me. The studio then switched to the Unreal Engine 4 for its 2018 simulation of the then Blancpain GT Series (now GT World Challenge), Assetto Corsa Competizione, much to the surprise of many fans. The now eight-year-old veteran is still showing many newer titles a fresh set of Pirellis. The engine sounds, vehicle handling – and later, adaptability – proved to be genre-leading. This popular simulator used a brand new, in-house developed, game engine, and it was a doozy. It then grew and spun off various Ferrari and Abarth-themed games before arriving at the breakthrough smash hit Assetto Corsa, initially through Early Access in 2013. Things have come a long way since Italian driving simulator developer Kunos Simulazioni was a one-person team, creating the professional-grade netKar-Pro title in 2006.
