Traxion has published a 30-minute video interview with Kunos Simulazioni co-founder Marco Massarutto, recorded at the SimRacing Expo, covering where Assetto Corsa EVO goes from here.

The conversation ranges across the big open questions hanging over the title: the free-roam driving mode, the progression system, and how competitive racing is meant to work. Traxion frames it as a wide-ranging discussion rather than a single announcement, so don’t expect a tidy patch-note summary. It’s a sit-down with the person steering the project, talking through intentions and priorities.

Beyond that, the published description is light on specifics. We haven’t pulled individual claims out of the video, and we’re not going to paraphrase things Massarutto may or may not have said. If you want the detail, the interview itself is the place to get it.

Why it matters: Assetto Corsa EVO has been a slow-burn early access project, and a lot of the sim racing audience is still waiting to see whether the ambitious parts, free-roam in particular, turn into something that justifies the wait. Progression and ranked competition are the two features that decide whether EVO becomes a daily driver or stays an occasional hotlap sim. Hearing Massarutto lay out the roadmap in his own words is more useful than reading tea leaves in Steam update notes, provided you treat it as stated intent rather than a delivery promise. Kunos has shifted timelines before. Watch it for the direction of travel, then judge the game by what actually ships.
