developer tox^2 interactive and editor Aerosoft announced this week that their upcoming truck simulation title “Heavy Cargo – The Truck Simulator” will be released on October 9th via Steam for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles.

You’ll be responsible for transporting some seriously heavy cargo across a large, fully explorable open world – and this time you’ll even have to make sure the missions are completed as safely as possible. A close partnership with Gruber Logistics ensures that this game stays as authentic to real-world cargo transport situations as possible.

More details about Heavy Cargo – The Truck Simulator can be found below.

In Heavy Cargo – The Truck Simulator, players must transport oversized loads through a huge, freely explorable and living game world. It’s about much more than just getting cargo from A to B. You’re driving a truck with incredibly powerful engines that are capable of moving the heaviest loads. But before the journey begins, players often have to scout their route with an observation vehicle, assess potential obstacles and prepare the way to ensure their cargo reaches its destination safely.

This means that players are responsible for everything from planning and preparation to carrying out the mission. This may include removing guardrails, adjusting road signs, determining bridge heights, and even using cranes to lay down floor slabs for safe passage. You don’t want to just rush through, do you?

The game’s dynamic weather and day-night cycle add extra challenge and realism, making each mission unique. Heavy Cargo – The Truck Simulator was developed in close collaboration with industry leader Gruber Logistics and offers a special, authentic and detailed representation of the complexity of heavy transport.

Main features:

• Large-capacity transports with escort vehicles: Navigate challenging roads with the assistance of vehicles ahead and behind.
• Detailed tour preparation: Perform tasks such as dismantling guardrails, laying floor panels, etc. to ensure safe transportation and avoid damaging the load or your surroundings.
• Realistic charging processes: Use mobile cranes and truck-mounted cranes to handle large and heavy loads.
• Authentic vehicle models: Drive fully licensed MAN trucks with a variety of trailers including boiler bridges, rotor trailers and low loaders, all based on real-life models.
• Open world with varied missions: Complete almost 30 missions in different weight and size classes, each with a detailed evaluation after the mission.
• Unlockable content: Earn rewards to unlock over 100 additional parts, more than 20 interior decorations and new truck models.

“We are excited to bring Heavy Cargo – The Truck Simulator to life with such an authentic and immersive experience,” said Dirk Ohler, Product Manager at Aerosoft. “Our partnership with Gruber Logistics has enabled us to accurately portray the challenges and intricacies of heavy haulage, making this game a must-play for simulation enthusiasts and trucking fans alike.”

Players can look forward to exploring the vast open-world route network with country roads, highways and carefully designed towns and villages. Whether you’re a seasoned simulator veteran or a newcomer to the genre, Heavy Cargo – The Truck Simulator promises a truly thrilling and rewarding experience.
