Dopo mesi di continui affinamenti, Automobilista 2 è finalmente uscito dalla fase di Early Access ed è stato reso disponibile nella sua release definitiva: un traguardo, quello della V1.0.0, davvero importante per Reiza Studios, che per l'occasione ha deciso di pubblicare un trailer a dimostrazione della qualità del proprio prodotto.
Siamo di fronte a un simulatore che ha fatto davvero dei passi da gigante in questi mesi, e che prossimamente riceverà anche il suo primo DLC, comprendente il circuito dell'Hockenheimring con tutte le varianti storiche (1977, 1988 e 2001). Il bello? Chi acquisterà AMS2 in questo periodo di saldi estivi (o chi l'ha già acquistato in Early Access) lo riceverà gratuitamente!
A questo punto, ora vi proponiamo il changelog completo della versione finale 1.0: a tal proposito Reiza Studios consiglia di cancellare la cartella di Automobilista 2 presente nei "Miei Documenti", perchè relativa alla precedente Early Access che potrebbe creare qualche conflitto con la nuova release. Le leaderboard, inoltre, saranno resettate, mentre l'introduzione della modalità Campionato, per il momento, deve essere considerata come un Work in Progress.
