The Season 2024 DLC pack for Assetto Corsa Competizione now has a release date, as revealed by parent company Digital Bros.
For years, fans of Assetto Corsa Competizione have been campaigning for the Nürburgring Nordschleife to be included in the official GT World Challenge simulation – and now it seems that the interminable wait will be over sooner rather than later.
News first broke in July 2023, when motorsport series organiser SRO agreed a deal with the 24 Hours of Nürburgring to include the venerated event within the 2024 Intercontinental GT Challenge.
That then opened the door for sim developer Kunos Simulazioni to add the ‘Green Hell’ to the platform – which was not possible previously with the content being intrinsically linked to SRO-backed championships. Development of the 24-hour layout was confirmed in November 2023.
Today, 13th Match 2024, a release date for the content has been announced – 1st April 2024.
We certainly hope this is not some kind of intricate April Fool’s joke, but the financial results covering the first half of the fiscal year 2023-2024 for parent company Digital Bros reveal all:
“The Group’s release schedule for the second half of this fiscal year includes; the launch of the Season 2024 pack for Assetto Corsa Competizione on April 1st, 2024. The official video game for the Fanatec GT World Challenge championship will feature the iconic Nürburgring Nordscheifle [sic] circuit for the first time.”
The report also noted strong revenue generated from the entire Assetto Corsa franchise, including game and DLC sales across PC and console:
“…Outstanding performance of the different versions of Assetto Corsa. The franchise developed by the fully owned studio Kunos Simulazioni generated Euro 12.2 million revenue in the reporting period.”
That leaves just over two weeks until PC players, at least, can experience the ‘full’ ‘Ring within Assetto Corsa Competizione. However, additional content, such as cars and liveries, included in the ‘Season 2024’ pack remains unconfirmed.
A PC-first release is now also locked in.
