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?
