Reiza Studios remain hard at work developing Early Access title Automobilista and as the studio nears its latest public release further details have been revealed regarding future development of the title.
Biggest news for the upcoming version 0.9.3 will be the public release of both the Boxer Cup car and American racetrack Virginia International Raceway.
Both the Boxer and VIR are playable with the beta backers version of the title and have received plenty of positive reactions from gamers so far. The Boxer Cup car is an entertaining drive backed by immersive sounds and will surely become a favorite choice for AMS players upon release.
ViR has been recreated with the usual attention to detail lavished on Reiza created tracks and this unusual and challenging circuit will make a fine addition to the interesting and lesser known tracks already found in the title.
As well as previewing the upcoming new public build content Reiza have given a first viewing of some additional new content they hope to add to the game in the next few weeks. Now defunct Brazilian racing series the Copa Montana truck series as well as the Speedland kart track and Mendig Gymkhana location are well advanced and can be seen in the previews within this article.
Of course this new content comes at no additional cost to Automobilista Early Access owners and Reiza Studios expect to update the game with the new additions during the next 3 weeks. Keep an eye out on RaceDepartment for news of when these new items release.
As well as the new, free, content coming to AMS the team over in Brazil have revealed details of the first round of premium DLC content making its way into the game.
Brands Hatch in Great Britain is the first of 3 British circuits coming to Automobilista (Oulton Park and Cadwell Park will be included at a later date). One would assume the AMS Brands Hatch will include both the National and Grand Prix version of the circuit, however this has yet to be confirmed by the studio.
As well as the paid DLC Reiza are also releasing a high performance open wheel car from yesteryear, the Formula Vintage.
Very early preview WIP shots of the first paid DLC car for AMS, the Ultima GTR have been revealed, showing off some detailed moddling already undertaken by the studio. Reiza have confirmed the Ultima will be the first DLC car released and it should be a nice addition to the game for those with a taste for mid performance GT sports cars.
An early preview shot of the GTR can be seen below:
Further work is also well underway developing back end functionality around the web portal and integration with the game, hopefully improving usability of the title and bringing a more streamlined approach to various online elements of the game.
The free AMS dedicated tool via Steam is now in beta and should be made available shortly - league runners interested in giving the beta a try feel free to contact Renato Simioni via PM for advanced access.
There will be in between 10-12 DLC items released over the remainder of 2016, each item including either one completely new series or venue, with prices for each item ranging from US$ 2.99 to US$ 4.99
