Aerosoft | House of Simulation :

Paderborn, Germany, August 20th, 2024 – Aerosoft, leader in simulation game development and publishing, in collaboration with tox² interactive, is excited to announce the highly anticipated release of Heavy Cargo - The Truck Simulator on Steam for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S this October 9th, 2024!
 

In Heavy Cargo - The Truck Simulator, players are tasked with transporting oversized loads through a vast, freely explorable, and vibrant game world, though it offers much more than bringing cargo from A to B. Whilst you’ll be trucking with incredibly powerful engines, capable of moving the heaviest of loads, before the journey begins, players will often need to scout their route with a spotting vehicle, assessing potential obstacles and preparing the path to ensure their cargo reaches its destination safely.
 

This means players are responsible for everything from planning and preparation to executing the mission, which may involve dismantling guardrails, adjusting road signs, determining bridge heights, and even using cranes to lay ground plates for safe passage. You don’t want to just charge on through, now do you?

Developed in close partnership with real world industry leader Gruber Logistics, Heavy Cargo - The Truck Simulator offers a special, authentic and detailed portrayal of the complexities involved in heavy cargo transport.
 

Key Features:

  • Oversize Transports with Escort Vehicles: Navigate challenging roads with the support of preceding and following vehicles.

  • Authentic Vehicle Models: Drive fully licensed MAN trucks with various trailers, including boiler bridges, rotor trailers, and low-loaders, all based on real-life models.

  • Unlockable Content: Earn rewards to unlock over 100 add-on parts, 20+ interior decorations, and new truck models.
