Today we
bring the news so many sim racers have been waiting for! We’re thrilled to
announce that Assetto Corsa Competizione, the Official GT World Challenge
game, will launch on Xbox One June 23.
The road to
get here has been incredibly exciting for everyone at 505 Games and Kunos Simulazioni
and we can’t wait to bring ACC to Xbox One later this year. In the
meantime, let me tell you more about what to expect…
The Official
Gt Challenge Series Game
As mentioned,
Assetto Corsa Competizione is the Official GT World Challenge game,
giving players the opportunity to experience the real atmosphere of the GT3
championship with manufacturers such as Ferrari, Mercedes, McLaren, Lamborghini,
and Porsche. Featuring official cars, tracks, drivers and teams, our players
will be able to jump into Sprint and Endurance races, as well as the iconic Spa
24hr race, in both single and multiplayer modes.
Laserscan
Technology
Assetto Corsa
Competizione features
some of the most well-known circuits on the planet, brought to life through
Laserscan technology. This tech enables our dev team to recreate circuits with
the highest level of accuracy, so expect to feel every bump and kerb on track
that you would in the cockpit of a real car. Those that know Kunos Simulazioni
know that this dev team is all about attention to detail, so tracks such as
Silverstone, Monza, Spa-Francorchamps and the Nürburgring are going to be real fun
to race on.
Realism
ACC takes full advantage of Unreal Engine 4,
bringing day and night races, photorealistic weather conditions and graphics,
motion capture animations, improved tyre and aerodynamic models and more to
game. The level of immersion you’ll experience from a driver’s perspective is
incredible. In fact, we’ve already seen GT World Challenge drivers jump on the
PC edition of ACC, which is surreal to see. If anything, this is solid
proof that Kunos developed something very close to the real-life experience.
Intercontinental
GT Pack DLC
Players who
decide to pre-order Assetto Corsa Competizione will receive free access
to the Intercontinental GT Pack DLC at launch, which features four of the most
iconic international circuits from around the world: Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit
(South Africa), Suzuka Circuit (Japan), Weathertech Raceway Laguna Seca (United
States), and Mount Panorama Circuit (New South Wales Australia). What’s more,
this DLC will come with over 45 new car liveries, 30 new teams and 50 new
drivers, along with all-new game modes from the Intercontinental GT Challenge,
powered by Pirelli. (There’s a lot to be excited about here!)
For those who
don’t want to pre-order, don’t worry! The Intercontinental GT Pack comes to
Xbox One this Summer as a standalone paid DLC.
Race to The
Finish Line
Over the
coming weeks, we’ll be giving our community more info on the console edition of
Assetto Corsa Competizione over on our official AC and 505 Games Twitter channels. Today
has been super exciting for the team and as a Community Manager, it’s awesome
to finally be able to talk about today’s announcement. We’ve seen the console
question asked so many times so it’s nice to finally be able to say yes, ACC
is coming to Xbox One June 23! See you trackside!
