Assetto Corsa Competizione, the high-tech racing simulator announced when it will leave Early Access and head into full launch – it’s coming soon! May 20th, 2019 is the big day, and it was announced at the Monza Circuit, in conjunction with the first round of the SRO E-Sport GT Series. This is a new esports championship, born from a partnership between Kunos Simulazioni and SRO, with the support of Pirelli and AK Informatica. Virtual drivers can experience the Blancpain GT series behind the wheel of some of the most luxurious motorcars, from Ferraris, Lamborghinis, and Aston Martins. If that isn’t for you, there are other prestigious GT racing cars, all replicated with an incredible level of detail. In addition, using LaserScan technology, every official circuit has been recreated with precision and the utmost accuracy.
“We are well aware of the advantages given by the Steam Early Access program and with Assetto Corsa Competizione we have further improved interaction with the community during this essential phase,” said Marco Massarutto, co-founder, brand & product manager of Kunos Simulazioni. “This synergy allowed us to make changes, additions and improvements during the development stage, guaranteeing an even better driving and gaming experience at launch. The gallery of images that we’re sharing with this announcement was not realized by our studio, but was created directly by our players, to highlight not only the visual quality and the obsessive attention to details, but also the essential contribution and support that our community has been giving us for years now.”
Features of the Full Launch of Assetto Corsa Competizione:
· MULTIPLAYER AND SINGLEPLAYER MODES: Assetto Corsa Competizione will have an advanced ranking system which will evaluate both individual performance and driving behavior, rewarding the most virtuous drivers and promoting fair play in online competitions. The effective matchmaking function will make sure that users can compete with opponents of similar skill level and easily find online races to join, while the leaderboards will allow the players to compare single-lap performance with drivers from all around the world with the same car, circuit and weather conditions. Career, Championship, and Free Play modes will offer a complete and customizable gaming experience, suitable for players of every skill level.
· CHAMPIONSHIP AND CAREER MODES: Assetto Corsa Competizione will include a brand-new Career Mode designed in collaboration with Lamborghini Squadra Corse and official driver Mirko Bortolotti – Blancpain GT Series champion 2017 – who will introduce players to the first driving tests, giving them precious suggestions to start their adventure in the Blancpain GT Series. This mode will allow users to create their own racing team to take on all driving tests and racing weekends with an astonishing level of realism and with the main objective of any professional driver: to win. Championship mode will allow to virtually reproduce the Blancpain GT Series Season in the shoes of one of the official drivers.
· REALISTIC WEATHER CONDITIONS: Assetto Corsa Competizione will include competitions of different durations – from Sprint 60’ races to the famous Spa 24H Endurance race – which will give to players the chance to experience variable weather conditions during the whole race, influencing the track’s visibility and car handling. The possibility to set different weather conditions will help create races that are always different, with outcomes that are never given for granted.
· THE MOST ACCURATE CIRCUITS: Thanks to LaserScan technology, every official circuit is recreated with the utmost accuracy: All curbs and details perfectly replicate their real counterparts, granting a gaming experience as faithful to reality as possible.
· ADVANCED VISUAL AND AUDIO EFFECTS: Unreal Engine 4 will guarantee photorealistic rendering and an accurate representation of scenarios, car materials, and weather conditions. Thanks to the multi-channel audio sampling of real GT cars, the game conveys captivating and immersive acoustic surroundings and realistic environmental effects.
The zombies are on the loose! I repeat: The zombies are on the loose! World War Z is almost live, hitting the Playstation 4 on April 16th, 2019.
If you’re looking for more cards and missions for Super Dragon Ball Heroes World Mission, a new update is on the way to give you just that!
The Dead Island Definitive Collection is available now in a digital form for PC and is coming to Playstation 4 and Xbox One on April 17th. The physical retail release on Playstation 4 is coming on June 7th. Please note this is in German, so use Closed Captioning if needed.
A new event has officially begun in Tannenberg (April 12th) and will last until April 22nd, 2019. The special Wolf Truce event is inspired by historical reports, and players of both factions may find themselves hip-deep in ravening wolves. Players can choose to call a truce to deal with the canine menace or use it to their advantage on the battlefield. Much like in World War 1 game Verdun, this event is based on real life, as hungry wolves were attacking people in many parts of Russia during the war.
“A Russian book roughly translated as The History of Russia in Faces: Book Two describes a ceasefire to exterminate wolves, while the New York Times went into more detail on an extraordinary truce in 1917 between German and Russian forces. In Tannenberg we tried to reenact this remarkable event, where players can choose to hold a truce or fight the wolves alone.”
Conan Unconquered launches on May 30th, 2019, and Petroglyph has a new trailer today to show off a more in-depth look at the gameplay. In this Conan Unconquered video, key developers explain how the game is played, and what it will take to deal with the hordes of enemies.

Good morning, Internet! Though Super Dragon Ball Heroes is out and in my hands, it’s just about the only thing I’m playing on my Switch right now. Well, that and Final Fantasy VII, I suppose. Smite? Warframe? BlazBlue? No time for any of you! But there are some pretty great games coming outside of this window that should probably get some notice. Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen as a prime example! I love the Dragon’s Dogma franchise, so I’m glad that Dark Arisen is coming to the Nintendo Switch, and it’s coming this month (April 23rd)! I’m curious to see how Final Fantasy XII will handle on the Switch, but I’m sure it will be fine, when it arrives on April 30th. There’s also a really cool indie game that I think deserves a look: Death Coming. It drops on April 25th and is a non-linear pixel-style game where it’s up to you to harvest human souls, but it’s got to look like an accident! Think Final Destination. It looks amazing, and I really want to find the time for it. But what has come out/is coming out in the next week or so? Let’s find out!
Neo ATLAS 1469 (April 9th, 2019): Despite covering this game quite a few times in the news for the Switch, I’m genuinely surprised this hit the Nintendo Switch. Not because it would be hard to do, I just haven’t seen much in the way of historical-style exploration games on the console. It’s set in the Golden Age of Exploration, in the Year of Our Lord, 1469, but it’s not entirely historical. There are deadly creatures in the sea and lots of places to explore. Neo ATLAS is challenging and fascinating, and your exploits could change the face of the Earth forever. It has a physical and digital release, and it’s awesome to see it come to life. (49.99)
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy (April 9th, 2019): Now, I never got into the Phoenix Wright games. Whenever they were out and popular, I didn’t have the means to play them. But virtually everyone I know is in love with these court drama/puzzle games. The original trilogy that made the franchise what it is today is now available on the Nintendo Switch, with fantastic graphics, and the same challenging, gripping story that came on the initial carts. 14 episodes are playable, with mystery, intrigue, and just a dash of silliness (Editor’s Note: Maybe more than a dash). It’s a compelling franchise, and I think this was a smart move to get more people talking about Phoenix Wright. Maybe this will lead to a new Phoenix Wright on the Switch! (29.99)
Final Fantasy X/X-2: HD Remaster (April 16th, 2019): Final Fantasy X is among my favorite games of all time. Final Fantasy X-2? Well…other than the story, I sincerely enjoyed it. The story kind of made my head spin, if I’m honest. But the HD Remasters for PS4, PSP, and PC were all majestic – I should know! I’ve played every iteration of Final Fantasy X. I have no doubt that the Switch version will be just as good as the others. Both take place in the land of Spira, a land that seems intricately tied to the afterlife. Both games have absolute tons of content, and while they might start off fairly linear, there’s still lots to do in both games. From capturing monsters and fighting in the arena in FFX, to FFX-2’s “hunt for 101% completion”. (49.99)
Cuphead: Don’t Deal With The Devil (April 18th): Cuphead is a game that, while I have not completed, I loved it anyway. It’s got that old-school challenge that I remember from my youth. But, unlike those old NES games, the challenge in this game is not from wonky, unresponsive controls, but from actual challenge. Knowing what phases of bosses do what, what weapons/abilities you should pack, and knowing when to run and gun, and when to just run. Cuphead was hand-drawn and is a beautiful representation of the golden era of animation. Not to mention “Die House (Mr. King Dice Main Theme)” might be one of the best songs from any game ever. That’s not hyperbole. I’ve yet to play a game that made me grow and learn more than Cuphead. It’s so good. (19.99)
