Assetto Corsa Rally: The Rally Sim Revolution Arrives November 13, 2025

A New Chapter in the Assetto Corsa Saga

The world of rally sim racing is preparing to welcome a true revolution. Assetto Corsa Rally, the first rally title in the celebrated Italian series, has been officially announced and will be available in Early Access on Steam starting November 13, 2025 at a price of $29.99/€29.99/£24.99. Developed by Supernova Games Studios in technical partnership with Kunos Simulazioni and published by 505 Games, this new title promises to redefine the standards of rally simulation.

Cutting-Edge Technology: Laser Scanning and Unreal Engine 5

What makes Assetto Corsa Rally truly revolutionary is the unprecedented technological approach adopted by the developers. For the first time in rally simulator history, every single stage has been recreated using laser-scan technology, the same technique that made Assetto Corsa famous for the millimeter precision of its circuits. This means that every terrain irregularity, every bump, every pothole, and every detail of the surrounding environment has been captured and reproduced with absolute fidelity to reality.

The game is built on a customized version of Unreal Engine 5, optimized specifically for the needs of racing games. This guarantees not only extraordinary visual fidelity but also optimal performance. Screenshots and videos released so far show what could be called the best-looking racing game of 2025, with a level of detail and realism that is breathtaking.

The Physics Engine: The Soul of the Simulator

At the heart of Assetto Corsa Rally beats the celebrated Assetto Corsa physics engine, refined and adapted specifically for rally needs. Kunos Simulazioni has worked for four years on this project, modifying and optimizing their engine to handle uneven surfaces, jumps, variable road conditions, and realistic vehicle behavior across all the new terrains typical of rally.

The driving physics have been described by those who tested the game as natural and immensely satisfying, both on gravel and tarmac. The simulator is challenging, as expected from a rally title, but not in a punishing way: when you make a mistake, you clearly perceive it, making the experience motivating and educational.

Dynamic Conditions: Every Stage is Unique

One of the most impressive features of Assetto Corsa Rally is the dynamic environmental conditions system. These are not mere visual effects: temperature, humidity, surface type, and water presence progressively affect grip and vehicle response. Day-night cycles and changing weather conditions make every pass on the same stage a completely different experience.

These elements are integrated into the physical simulation model, requiring drivers to demonstrate precision, sensitivity, and adaptability. This approach has never been seen before in the rally simulator genre, taking the realism level to unprecedented heights.

Early Access Content: A Solid Starting Point

At the start of Early Access, Assetto Corsa Rally will offer:

Vehicles

• 10 rally cars meticulously recreated through laser-scanning
• Iconic vehicles from different eras: from the 1960s to today
• Confirmed cars include: Lancia Delta HF Integrale, Hyundai i20 Rally2, Peugeot 208 Rally4, Fiat 131 Abarth, and the legendary Lancia 037
• Realistic dynamics for FWD, RWD, and AWD vehicles

Stages

• Over 33 km of routes recreated with laser-scan technology
• 4 special stages from the real world of rally
• 9 stage variants
• Rally Alsace (France): tarmac stages through vineyard landscapes, featuring Munster and Saverne
• Rally Wales: gravel routes through hills and dense forests, featuring Hafren North and South

Game Modes

• 5 game modes available at launch
• Complete offline modes
• Online leaderboards from day one
• Time Attack and Special Events
• Free Practice mode for training
• Advanced damage system with physical and visual damage
• Support for triple screen configurations

The Future: Version 1.0 and Beyond

Supernova Games Studios has outlined an ambitious roadmap for the game's completion. Version 1.0 is planned within 18 months of Early Access launch and will include:

• Over 120 km of laser-scanned roads
• 10 special stages with over 35 variants
• More than 30 cars from the most iconic rally vehicles past and present
• Rally School: a dedicated learning mode
• Complete Career Mode
• Full VR support
• Advanced synchronous multiplayer modes with lobbies and dedicated servers
• Club system for group competitions

Multiplayer: From Asynchronous to Synchronous

The Assetto Corsa Rally multiplayer system will be implemented gradually during Early Access. At launch, players will be able to compete in asynchronous multiplayer mode, posting their times on online leaderboards in Time Attack and special events.

Subsequently, synchronous multiplayer modes will be introduced, where players can compete in real-time seeing split times and stage times of rivals. Features like ghosts, staggered starts, and hardcore modes are also planned where, in case of serious incident, you're out of the race, just like in the revered Richard Burns Rally.

Audio and Navigation: Total Authenticity

Every vehicle has been recorded both internally and externally under different conditions: acceleration, braking, and drifting. The result is authentic audio that perfectly captures the character of each car.

Co-driver pace notes have been developed in collaboration with real professional co-drivers and recorded in their voices, ensuring an immersive and realistic experience. This level of attention to detail is reflected in every aspect of the game.

A Team Dedicated to Rally

It's important to emphasize that Assetto Corsa Rally is developed by a completely separate team from the one working on Assetto Corsa EVO. Supernova Games Studios, part of the Digital Bros group like Kunos and 505 Games, has been working on this project since 2021. This means that AC Rally development has in no way slowed the progress of Assetto Corsa EVO.

The Supernova team has demonstrated genuine passion for rally and consolidated experience with Unreal Engine 5, creating a game that is not only technically impressive but also developed by true motorsport enthusiasts.

The Perfect Time for Rally Sim

The arrival of Assetto Corsa Rally couldn't be more timely. After EA/Codemasters paused the development of future WRC and DiRT games, and with Nacon just restarting production of WRC-licensed titles, there's a void in the rally simulator market. Assetto Corsa Rally aims to fill this void by offering a hardcore rally simulation experience that fans have been waiting for decades.

Conclusions: A New Era for Virtual Rally

Assetto Corsa Rally represents a generational leap for rally simulators. The combination of laser-scan technology for every stage, advanced physics engine, realistic dynamic conditions, breathtaking graphics, and meticulous attention to detail promises to establish a new standard for the genre.

With an affordable Early Access price ($29.99/€29.99/£24.99) and a clear roadmap leading to a complete product within 18 months, Assetto Corsa Rally presents itself as an excellent investment for all rally and sim racing enthusiasts. November 13, 2025 will mark the beginning of a new era for virtual rally.

For those who wanted to try the game in preview, Assetto Corsa Rally was present at Sim Racing Expo 2025 in Dortmund. The game is already available for wishlisting on Steam, and the sim racing community is eagerly awaiting what could be the best sim racing news of 2025.
