Supposedly Fanatec under their new ownership will be redoing their software going into the new year and there are no clues as to what may or may not change.
But if you will be playing on console you probably have at minimum a year or likely a bit longer better before EVO will release on the console.
Will probably be at least the fall of 2025 at an optimistic best before EVO will get a full launch even on the PC and not ne in a beta early testing version.

This all sounds incrediable to say the least, a career mode with an economy, and option to customize and tune cars. is what i always wanted for an ac title, this would be a true game changer, if see all those ideas being featured this will wipe the floor with all of sim racing market, none of sim racers has actully Done this before,
I already belive the first ac was ahead of any of pc sim racers,
And this could go next level the pontential is huge to say the least,
Very hyped for this game now.

I dont know if you guys know anything about a leak bzt here it is from reddit.
IMPORTANT: Since nobody bothers to actually read, YES MOD SUPPORT IS COMING but post launch and in a way to support good modders "in a more creative way" and prevent asset ports from other games (that's in the official Kunos interview with everyeye.it, you can read more below).
In early May of 2024, user "iknowstuff99" (very appropriate name, obviously a throwaway account) posted a .txt file on various sim racing Discord servers containing information about Assetto Corsa EVO with no source. The user stuck around for some more time to just chat and discuss the info he gave.
The following are the contents of the .txt file, posted on a public simracing Discord server:
============================================
(C) Will feature a huge 2500 square KM open world map of the real life area around (and including) the Nurburgring. Including highly detailed towns, all of the roads present in real life down to a 1:1 recreation.
(C, reported by locals) The map features real life landmarks correctly recreated. Some locations have been reportedly manually scanned by the dev team for maximum fidelity, such as Adenau.
(C) Traffic AI will be present on the roads and will react to your actions in a fairly realistic manner. AI traffic will be bound to the same physics as the rest of the player cars. AI might also be doing track days on the open world Nordschleife during opening hours.
(C) It will maintain the high level of realism that AC and ACC are known for, with even better physics and simulation. Roads will never be exaggerated in size for comfort.
(C, M) There is a possibility for an extensive player driven market and economy. There is a chance for social areas made in collaboration with the real life locations.
(C, S) If the economy is present, players might be able to own, sell, extensively customize and modify their cars and build a history on them to raise value.
(C, M) Players will be able to partake in jobs of all kinds, from pizza delivery to track taxi laps.
(S) There might be limited quantity/unique vehicles with special mods or references.
(M) Chances are more open world maps will be added. Almost confirmed locations are: Italy, Japan. Speculations around France, England, USA are also present.
(C, partly confirmed by the devs) Graphics will receive a hefty bump in quality and performance. Their in house engine apparently has similar capabilities to UE5 with technology similar to Nanite. Ground fidelity and quality has also received a significant boost. Textures, lighting, materials etc also look a lot better. No info on Ray Tracing or similar.
(C) Game servers will go beyond 100 users per server, if not double.
(M) Game servers might be divided per regions, with seamless transitions together with friends when travelling in Germany. Each of these servers will have huge player counts.
(C) Custom and player hosted servers will still be present. Normally the game will send you into the official open world, but one can choose to see a server browser. Game will try to match you with your friends or teammates if not using server browser.
(C) There is a half fictional loop of the autobahn that completes the real life highway. This is to make a loop for gameplay purposes.
(C, S) Players will almost surely be able to own homes, garages and even businesses like tuning shops, parts shops, clubs and so forth.
(C) There will be no -official- mod support.
(S) There might be a chance for modders to create their own tuning parts.
(M) Cars could have onboard Spotify radio/Spotify.
(C, by the developer) The physics model has not lost quality, as it has been initially worked on by the original developer before leaving.
(S) Console launch will happen at a much later date. Crossplay could be possible.
(S) Custom dirt/gravel road physics and correctly deformable terrain.
Release date is set to hit Early Access later 2024 on Steam. Price is unknown. Recommended specs are unknown. VR support is unknown.

Do not let this raise your expectations. The source for this information is unknown, and obviously not final. We have marked with (C) the confirmed features, (M) the features that might come and (S) the ones that are for the most part speculation. If one point contains 2 markers it is something in between.

I can't tale any of the above seriously otherwise I'll lose my mind with excitement. However, a career mode customized around what WE want to do and the cars and economy WE want to dictate? Sold. Want to drive a ****box from 100hp to a 400hp track weapon? Then yes please, I want that. Can only hope we get a plethora of "normal city cars" to mess around with!

We're not there, this is just a transcription of the video stream rebuilt into something bitesized and usable.
There's been almost no talk about the console versions at all yet, so I wouldn't hold out any hope for PSVR2. The fact that KS itself dealt with the porting for AC to PS4/XB1 - while ACC was ported by d3t under Keyword for 8th Gen, and Untold Games for 9th Gen - does generate some possible light that it may happen though.

As a journalist/editor myself, I get it. Wasn’t necessarily pointing a finger at you guys. But people have had interviews with them and no one has seemed to push them on it when they’ve had the opp. The devs can easily say no comment at this time, I just wish someone would try lol
Especially since they’ve banged on about knowing how important VR is. Or do they think it’s only important to PC VR users? No idea because no one who’s spoken with them has tried to get an answer.

A proper career mode with currency and customisation? Along with all the new features and a sandbox mode? Wow wee. We could be looking at the ULTIMATE driving game here.

I've never had much interest in hardcore sim racing, but this game sounds like it's going to be incorporating a lot of the gameplay elements that I like about the Gran Turismo series. If it's all available without a constant internet connection, I may be up for trying this.

I want to know:
- Will they have AI supported assistance like trophy.ai, or direct trophy.ai integration? I'm assuming yes since ACC is an option, but moreso if they'll have their own native AI assistant.
- The biggest thing that grinds my gears with ACC was when you first start the game, getting/keeping your driver scores was easy, then immediately it got super hard with no warning. I hope A) an AI assistant can help with that and B) they find an improved way to let us know we are approaching the limit, without going over. I always found it it impossible to find that balance they always talked about regarding grip limit. It shouldn't be such a struggle; I'm either too fast after I increase my pace, or I'm too slow and leaving available grip. Some AI guidance here (besides generic text that doesn't help) would be what the doctor ordered.

I'm hoping this will give the established players something to think about. Please be good...really good.

With their own brand new engine that as far as I can tell already rivals Unreal 4, and with the above saying they have features similar to Unreal 5 I'd say it's pretty obvious this isn't a one game engine. They'll be licensing that to many different developers to get a return on their investment.
Which should mean it generates console games at the same time as PC, given it's new and designed from scratch by a developer who has console titles. PlayStation VR would make a lot of sense to sell such an engine to more devs since so few other titles currently support it, but maybe that means it's not easy. I'd expect Xbox must be going VR with their 2026 console with saying it's the most powerful jump in a console generation. Although given games like the upcoming MSFS 24 using tech that 'streams' parts of the game like city detail, requiring/recommending very high speed Internet up to 100mb/s it makes little sense when they could just stream the whole game in 4k for less data. Maybe they can do VR on current hardware, one eye streaming, one generated on the console?
Personally I'd like to see the Open Acess on consoles in February. ARMA are doing something similar on consoles with Reforger now, with mods, and Grounded released in this early way. It'd be the perfect time for Kunos to take on a lot of disgruntled/bored players right now.
