Reiza Studios to Unveil New Game "Soon", Final Automobilista Update Detailed!

Published May 23rd, 2019:

Reiza Studios have released a blog post detailing their plans for the future which includes news on the continued development of the rFactor 2 Reiza Bundle DLC, new information on the plans for the final update of Automobilista, and details on a new unannounced game.

A new blog post from Reiza Studios reveals some interesting details regarding the future of the studio. In this post, Reiza reveals that they will be working on the development of the the 1988 and 2001 versions of Imola inside of rFactor 2, which will be added free of charge to everyone who bought the current version of the track through the Reiza Bundle DLC or individually. Other general improvements to the Reiza Bundle DLC content will be released throughout the month, notably including a wet tire compound for the MCR S2000 and a turbo model for select Metalmoro cars.

The developers have also outlined their plans for the final Automobilista update, which will most likely add Donington Park and Snetterton to the already released AMS Season Pack. The original plans for this final update called for a new car pack to be released, but it seems as if licensing specifics are getting in the way of that. The last set of premium content for Automobilista and some minor bug fixes will release before the end of July.

Finally, Reiza Studios have given an update on their long anticipated new game. Their statement reads, "After a long, grueling and sometimes painful conception, we´re finally getting ready to unveil our new baby. Stay tuned for an announcement to be made in the coming days on our Social Media pages." I will be reporting on this upcoming announcement when it is made, so make sure to stay tuned for that.

Reiza rFactor 2 Bundle – May Update

As previously announced, we´ve continued development of the rF2 content this month focusing primarily on the development of the two additional Imola versions – the 1988 and 2001 layouts, which will be added free of charge to all who bought the Imola track or any pack that included it.

Below and above a couple of WIP previews – now the rF2 Mclarens will have some era-accurate official tracks to stretch their legs on.

There´s also been some work done elsewhere in the pack with further polishing and sorting a few remaining issues – more notably we have added the missing wet tire compound for the MCR S2000 and we are working on adding the turbo model to the Metalmoro cars that feature it.

With the possible exception of the turbos, these updates are due for release later next week.

Automobilista Final Update & DLC

Unfortunately, are still struggling a bit to get this one worked out. Without going too far into licensing specifics, here´s a brief breakdown of where things stand at the moment:

Although we have for a while now held a licensing deal for some new cars for our next sim and already have them modelled and in-game, we jumped the gun with regards to extending their license agreement to Automobilista – despite continuing attempts we still haven´t quite managed to make the numbers work and it´s looking unlikely we will manage to, which may force us to pull the plug on releasing this particular pack in Automobilista.

If that scenario pans out however we have put together a good alternative – we are extending our licensing agreement with Motorsport Vision to include Donington Park and Snetterton, and in this one we would be able to release both tracks for Automobilista as part of the AMS Season Pack with no extra charge for those who already own that.

Development for both Donington and Snetterton is already in progress, and we should have them both ready by late July.

I understand such changes are never a good thing especially for something that was announced so long ago, hopefully, most users agree this alternative is good value too.

Either way, we are set on releasing one last set of premium content for Automobilista along with some minor bug fixing before the end of July.

There is one more thing…

Naturally, most of you will be checking this more interested in hearing news about our much anticipated and long overdue new title…. I´m aware we have pushed everyone´s patience to the limit there but good things do come for those who wait

After a long, grueling and sometimes painful conception, we´re finally getting ready to unveil our new baby. Stay tuned for an announcement to be made in the coming days on our Social Media pages, which you can access from the links on the top right of this forum.

Once this is out of the way we should certainly have a lot more to chat about again, so look forward to us resuming our monthly update tradition from next month onwards!
