City Transport Simulator: Tram has been announced for Steam and Epic Games Store. This realistic simulation title comes from simulation aficionados Dovetail Games. This phenomenal publisher has recently released Train Simulator Classic 2024. Accordingly, it looks like 2024 is going to be a great year if you love trains, trams, or the sim genre.
Unlike other titles from this publisher, City Transport Simulator: Tram is set in a fictional city. Accordingly, this may disappoint true fans of the tram network. However, this unusual move allows the developer to focus on creative freedom and an ultra-realistic approach. Available in Early Access from the 20th of June 2024, this title is bound to get transport enthusiasts hot under the collar.
More details on City Transport Simulator: Tram.
City Transport Simulator: Tram has been in development courtesy of ViewApp and published by Dovetail Games. Players assume the role of a tram driver in the city of Tramau. This fictional city is inspired by real-world cities found in southern Germany. Furthermore, they will get set up in one of 3 true-to-life trams. Each has its unique cabs, interiors, modes, and functions. Players will then familiarise themselves with their favourite tram and start picking up and dropping off passengers while sticking to timetables.
Unique to City Transport Simulator: Tram is the new career mode! The city’s tram network requires revival, and it’s the player’s responsibility to manage Tramau’s entire tram operation. After naming and customising their tram operation, they’ll start with limited resources and a single tram. As they progress, they’ll gradually expand their small tram operation into a city-spanning, fully customisable tram network. By earning XP, players can add more trams to their fleet, and customise and edit their timetables. Additionally, you may strategically position tramlines to link up with their stations however they see fit!
The city of Tramau has a rich and storied history that players can experience and explore. Their tram journey will take players past unique points of interest around Tramau. This includes a Baroque-style cathedral, a 14th-century university, and a botanical garden constructed in the 18th century.
Pre-order!
Though the train and tram genre is niche, its fans are obsessed with the attention to detail and the fantastic rolling stock. A limited number of trams may frustrate, but I’m sure this will expand as DLC is introduced and the game evolves. Consequently, if you fancy undertaking the role of a tram driver in a fictional German-inspired city, then I suggest clicking this link here!
