You understand how it’s: you rush to the bus cease since you suppose you are going to miss it, then it arrives 12 years late. Typical. The makers of Euro Truck Simulator 2 have proven off a brief trailer with a giant shiny European coach in it. It confirms that the sim will add driveable buses in some kind quickly, fulfilling a long-forgotten tease that was first made by the builders again within the cloudy days of 2013.
The trailer was included in a quick update post on Steam, displaying a giant white bus pulling out from behind a Scania truck. Shock! The sport is principally now Euro Truck And/Or Bus Simulator 2.
“We’ve crossed borders, hauled freight, and explored numerous cities throughout Europe,” say builders SCS Software program. “However similar to any nice journey, the highway is at all times filled with surprises. One thing completely different is pulling into view, a brand new method to expertise the world of Euro Truck Simulator 2. See you on the subsequent cease.”
The devs have not stated precisely what kind the buses will take, or which lurching highway carriages will seem (please, not Megabus) however it’ll probably be a giant DLC pack. It’s the end result of a want the builders appear to have harboured for over a decade. They first contemplated the potential for including buses again in February 2013, writing in a blog post they had been “exploring a chance to transcend simply vehicles” and saying they had been off “recording sounds and taking tons of pictures of a Scania Touring HD Bus”. Nevertheless it seems like these plans obtained delayed on the roadside till now.
It is a nice risk to some however not stunning to all. Some gamers have famous the looks of extra detailed bus stops alongside their ordinary trucking routes in latest updates, and say the bussification of the sim is sensible. Though others within the recreation’s Steam boards appear grumpy that buses don’t get their very own devoted sim. Nevertheless you’re feeling, it is a transfer that is consistent with the studio’s latest plans for his or her different sim, American Truck Simulator, which plans to introduce driveable pickup vehicles and different smaller vehicles as a part of a “Road Trip” expansion.
