Assetto Corsa Rally will expand its roster of locations to include Rally Greece in the upcoming 0.5 update, publisher 505 Games confirmed on June 19. The update introduces the Mediterranean venue, characterized by high-speed, rock-strewn, and dusty gravel stages, following the title’s existing Wales location. No specific release date has been provided for the content drop.
What defines the new Greek stages in Assetto Corsa Rally?
The Greek addition, often referred to by the rallying community as the “Rally of the Gods,” focuses on high-speed navigation over loose, challenging surfaces. According to 505 Games, the terrain is specifically noted for being both dusty and rocky, which significantly alters vehicle handling compared to standard tarmac or smoother gravel tracks. The developers confirmed the inclusion of the “Tarzan” stage, a route known for its technical difficulty and tree-lined path.
Every stage featured in Assetto Corsa Rally is created using laser-scanning technology. This process captures the exact topography of real-world roads, including individual rocks and surface undulations, to ensure an authentic simulation experience.
How does the 0.5 update compare to previous releases?
The 0.5 update marks a shift toward expanding the game’s geographical variety. While April’s 0.4 update focused on vehicle expansion—specifically the introduction of the Group A Subaru Impreza—the current focus is strictly on environment design. When compared to the existing Wales gravel stages, Greece offers a higher-speed, more abrasive surface profile. This provides players with a wider spectrum of gravel simulation, ranging from the damp, tighter turns of the UK to the sprawling, sun-baked landscape of the Mediterranean.
When will players be able to access the new content?
While an official release date for update 0.5 remains unconfirmed, game lead Irvin Zonca previously indicated a broader roadmap targeting June 2026 for upcoming content. The 505 Games team has not provided a more granular window for the Greek stage release. Players currently participating in the Early Access Program should expect the content to arrive as part of this scheduled development cycle.
Because Greece features high-speed, loose-surface terrain, players should prioritize suspension tuning that accounts for “rock strikes.” Adjusting your ride height and rebound settings can help maintain traction on the uneven surfaces of the Tarzan stage.
