505 Games is publishing Assetto Corsa EVO and its Ver.0.9 update, Nivalis Nights, and Mayhem A La Carte, while holding the Ghostrunner IP and continuing to support Crime Boss: Rockay City and Mingmo: Wings of Despair.
505 Games has spent 2026 moving across three fronts: racing simulations, published indies, and franchises it owns outright. The Assetto Corsa line is the most active. Ver.0.8 added the Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit and three cars in July, Ver.0.9 added the Audi R8 LMS GT2, Audi R8 V10 performance quattro, and Mazda RX-7 FD Spirit R in August, and in October the company announced a 1:1 Free Roam mode for EVO starting with the area around the Nurburgring. Assetto Corsa Rally, made with Supernova Games Studios, received its V0.5 update in June with Greek WRC stages and 16-player multiplayer.
Nivalis Nights was the other major release. ION LANDS' cyberpunk life and shop management sim launched on Steam on September 29 after a delay and a rename from Nivalis, with an Epic Games Store version planned but undated. It supports Japanese display and subtitles. A Q&A video in August confirmed a serial killer plot inside the relationship system.
505 Games also announced Mayhem A La Carte, a co-op cooking FPS from INGAME STUDIOS, planned for early access on Steam in 2027. INGAME STUDIOS' Crime Boss: Rockay City received its largest update yet in June, adding Story Mode. Mingmo: Wings of Despair passed 5 million cumulative sales in August around its first anniversary. The company signed a publishing deal for Paradark Studio's ExeKiller in June. On Ghostrunner, One More Level's CEO said in July that ideas for Ghostrunner 3 exist but require 505 Games' approval, since 505 Games owns the IP.
