The long awaited ‘Red Pack’ for Assetto Corsa on Xbox One and PS4 finally has a release window, with developer Kunos dropping the news today on Twitter. The pack launched in 2016 for PC players and offers a very nice selection of Italy’s finest racing machines. Alongside new cars, the track roster will also see a new premium addition.
More news from the Kunos Simulazioni camp. After yesterday’s surprise shake-up of the final Porsche pack, Executive Manager Marco Massarutto took to the official Assetto Corsa blog to detail the plans for the simulator leading into 2017 — specifically, the console versions.
It isn’t everyday that you sit behind the virtual wheel of a racing car so capable that it outright demands the very best of its pilot, and seemingly gestures an insult of grand proportions when those demands aren’t met. The Ferrari SF15-T is one such racing car, and it was introduced to Assetto Corsa in the Red Pack.
The day has finally come, the Red Pack is now available to PC players for Assetto Corsa. Named after Italy’s national racing color, the pack pays tribute to Italian machinery and is dominated by a certain Italian automaker more synonymous with the color than any other: Ferrari.
Leading up to tomorrow’s release of the Red Pack, Kunos continues to tease the remaining cars left to be revealed. While we may have already suspected the GT3 racer to be included in tomorrow’s DLC, the team have officially confirmed that the successor to the 458 Italia GT3 will make way to the Red Pack.
It looks like the cat is out of the bag in relation to the final three cars that will be included in the Red Pack for Assetto Corsa releasing later this week. Eagle-eyed viewers were able to spot the final three cars in the latest Kunos developer stream, Look What the Cat Hacked In at a little over 24 minutes in.
This one slipped through the cracks. In a week that’s seen a new trailer focusing on the game’s tracks, as well as the addition of Ferrari’s 2013 F1 contender, it’s been hard keeping track of all the news surrounding Assetto Corsa. To wrap up the weekend, we’ve got a collection of over a dozen images of what’s sure to be a popular car in this week’s Red Pack: the Maserati 250F.
If you weren’t hyped enough consider yourself lucky, the entire team at Kunos Simulazioni have certainly become masters of that craft with these recent string of trailers. Whether it be further building the already high anticipation for the upcoming console release, or a slow trickling of reveals for the upcoming Red Pack – Kunos certainly knows how to get the job done.
Assetto Corsa has been on a hot streak as of late, and with the recent bombshell that a certain Stuttgart manufacturer is due later this fall, it doesn’t look to be ending anytime soon. Console racers on the look-out for the acclaimed title still have a little wait until it lands on the PS4 and Xbox One.
