Realistic Rally Physics
Thanks to the partnership with KUNOS Simulazioni, the development team leveraged the renowned Assetto Corsa physics engine, specially adapted to realistically simulate the unique dynamics of rally racing, including:
- Jumps and uneven terrain
- Slippery and variable surfaces
- Accurate vehicle behavior on all types of terrain
Kunos supervised and supported the development of the driving model, ensuring the new title meets the high standards of realism and simulation that define the Assetto Corsa brand.
Each rally stage unfolds in a dynamic environment, where day-night cycles, variable weather, and terrain features directly affect handling. Temperature, humidity, and surface type gradually influence grip and vehicle response, making every stage feel unique. These factors are not just visual effects—they are integral gameplay elements that demand precision, sensitivity, and adaptability from the driver.
Laser-Scanned Stages for Unmatched Accuracy
A standout feature of Assetto Corsa Rally is the use of laser scan technology to recreate every rally stage. This approach enables the precise replication of:
- Real-world terrain
- Surface irregularities and track features
- Surrounding environment
This unprecedented method provides a level of realism never seen in rally simulations, enhancing both the depth and authenticity of the driving experience.
Additionally, Supernova Games optimized Unreal Engine 5 to meet the specific needs of racing games, delivering high visual fidelity and performance. Every car is recreated using laser scans and official CAD data, ensuring uncompromising accuracy in every component.
Advanced Damage System and Immersive Audio
The game features a state-of-the-art damage system that combines visual deformation with physics-based impacts, directly influencing vehicle dynamics.
The audio design further enhances immersion:
- Authentic vehicle sounds: real recordings of accelerations, braking, and drifts, captured both inside and outside the cabin
- Co-driver notes: original voices of professional co-drivers guide the player through each stage
