Transport Fever
Build your own transport empire!
Moenchengladbach, November 3rd, 2016 – astragon Entertainment is very proud to officially announce the release date of Transport Fever today, which will hit the stores on November 8th, 2016. On this date the new transport simulation by Swiss developer studio Urban Games will become available in the form of a DVD box or visually appealing flap box for 29.99 Euro/32.99 USD/22.99 GBP (RRP).
Thanks to the publishing agreement with GAMBITIOUS Digital Entertainment signed in spring 2016 astragon is in the possession of the exclusive retail rights for publishing and distribution in all European countries, Switzerland, Norway, Russia and Turkey.
Transport Fever is the official successor of the transport simulation Train Fever, first published by astragon in 2014. Additionally to railways and trucks Transport Fever will also include the movement of goods and passengers by ship and plane, which will in turn allow for even more multi-layered complexity regarding the game’s logistic and economic systems.
Just as its popular predecessor Transport Fever will also authentically portray a timespan of about 150 years. Over 120 faithfully recreated trains, trams, trucks, busses, ships and planes in the style of their times will be adding to the game’s atmosphere. In addition to the European setting known from the first part Transport Fever will offer a complete North-American environment. The player will be able to choose both maps either in the endless game mode or the individual campaign, which will offer a great number of historical missions. These will also act as a tutorial, where the player will discover the manifold gameplay elements of Transport Fever and their complex interactions step by step.
Transport Fever manages to create a high degree of authenticity not only through its detailed graphics and lighting but also in great part through its realistic vehicle simulation (including colors and signs of age), a dynamically simulated city development with passenger movement and a complex economic model.
The randomly generated, modifiable terrain with its realistic dimensions gives the player many creative options in the individual design of his virtual world through intuitive railway and road construction as well as development options for train stations, airports, and harbors. The sophisticated gameplay will confront the player with many demanding challenges and Transport Fever’s more than 50 achievements will not be easily won! All players wanting to individualize their gameplay even further will be delighted with the game’s comprehensive modding and STEAM™ Workshop support.
Transport Fever will be available in retail for 29.99 Euro/ 32.99 USD/22.99 GBP (RRP) starting November 8th, 2016.
