This feature will be added to the game by the end of 2026, following delays from its originally planned mid-2025 release. In Assetto Corsa Evo, the Eifel free roam mode will allow players to explore the area surrounding Germany’s Nürburgring circuit, nestled in the Eifel mountains.

Free Roam Expansion in Eifel Region for Assetto Corsa EVO Unveiled – Explore Rural Roads & Villages by 2026
The new video showcases elements of the upcoming free roam mode, featuring a Porsche 911 GT3 RS (992) leaving the Nürburgring to explore the rural roads and villages of the Eifel. The trailer also depicts pedestrians in Adenau at night, traffic on the road near Döttinger Höhe, the intersection of the B257 and B258 roads north of Müllenbach, and an animated cow. These additions suggest that Kunos will introduce the initial phase of the free roam mode during an upcoming update to Assetto Corsa Evo’s early access phase.
