Our Strong BRANDS!
Today, we have some exciting news for you! We’re taking a closer look at the official brands that will be featured in SubwaySim 2—because they’re an essential part of the experience.
[h2]From Hamburg...[/h2]
SubwaySim Hamburg was already developed with the kind support of Hamburger Hochbahn AG. Thanks to an official license, we were able to authentically recreate their logo and corporate design. Throughout the development of both SubwaySim titles, HOCHBAHN has continuously provided us with valuable information and feedback. Naturally, the HOCHBAHN logo is once again prominently displayed on the front of the DT5.
If you look closely, you’ll notice a small new detail on the DT5 that wasn’t present in SubwaySim 1. We’ve now included the distinct light signature of the DT5’s front headlights, making it even more authentic!
At this point, we’d like to express our gratitude to our Hamburg partners, hvv (Hamburger Verkehrsverbund) and especially Hamburger Hochbahn AG, for their excellent collaboration. Thanks to their support and the opportunity to study the DT5 down to the smallest details at the depot (see image below), we were able to recreate Hamburg’s U-Bahn with remarkable accuracy and recognizability!
[h2]... to Berlin[/h2]
Many of you have been asking about BVG logos in SubwaySim 2. In previous screenshots, the BVG logo was missing. Today, we have some fantastic news for you: All BVG vehicles in the game will now feature the original logo!
And it’s not just the vehicles! Between Möckernbrücke and Gleisdreieck, you’ll also find the BVG headquarters—easily recognizable by the large BVG logo displayed above the U1/U3 tracks. When approaching from Warschauer Straße, you’ll drive right underneath the iconic sign.
[h2]The Original Sound[/h2]
In addition to branding, every subway system has its own unique sound. This time, we’re not talking about train sounds but rather the announcements that create an authentic underground atmosphere.
For SubwaySim Hamburg, we collaborated with HOCHBAHN to include announcements by Anke Harnack, the real voice of Hamburg’s U-Bahn. Now, we’re thrilled to announce that we’ve also recorded Philippa Jarke, the original voice of the BVG, for the Berlin U-Bahn in SubwaySim 2! Her distinctive voice is instantly recognizable to Berliners and visitors alike—and now, you’ll hear her in SubwaySim 2 as well!
Berlin also features some unique announcement differences compared to Hamburg. In Berlin, each stop is followed by an announcement of the next destination, along with the classic "Einsteigen bitte" ("Please board") and, shortly after, "Zurückbleiben bitte" ("Please stand back"). Soon, you’ll be able to trigger these announcements yourself using the buttons in the image below!
All aboard - join us to gain deeper insights into the world of SubwaySim 2 and make sure not to miss any exciting announcement!
