Alaskan Road Truckers News

Hi Truckers,

When you’re making a game everything needs to be as perfect as possible. Not only in how the game plays, its graphics and sound, but also the game’s name. Sometimes you have time to think - is the game’s name right for what you’re making?

After some long drives and many hours musing on this, we decided to go for a rename. So long, Alaskan Truck Simulator - we’re very proud to introduce you all to…

[h2]Alaskan Road Truckers![/h2]


To celebrate the name change we in conjunction with our friends at IGN have put together an exclusive work-in-progress look at Alaskan Road Truckers showing an Alaskan summer along with some of the jobs you’ll do as a trucker:

Please do remember this footage was captured using a previous version of the game, we’ve made tons of progress since. Here are some of our latest screenshots, feast your eyes!



You’ll get to see more of Alaska soon, we’ll be giving you a look at the different regions, seasons, and climates so keep your eyes peeled for future announcements!

[h2]FAQ:[/h2]
[h3]Why have you changed the name?[/h3]
In Alaskan Road Truckers you aren’t just a truck, you play as a trucker with a focus on life both inside and outside of your vehicle. After all, you’ll be getting in and out of your truck, hitching uploads, fueling up your truck, and maintaining the health of your driver in the Alaskan outdoors.

We want to make sure you know when you look at our game that it’s something different and unique, so we thought - what are you? You’re a trucker, you go on roads…in Alaska.

And so Alaskan Road Truckers was born!

As the game has developed, we feel this brand new name better aligned with our ambitions for the game.

[h3]What does this mean for the game?[/h3]
It means we’ll be changing the logo for the game and the name wherever we have it but that’s it - we’re still making sure we create the definitive Alaskan trucking experience.

We’re working on creating expansive vistas of Alaska filled with life, variety, and treacherous conditions. We’re working to create an in-depth game which gives you an authentic trucker experience alongside a realistic driving model and a full career mode. All the same things we were working on before, just now the name fits better.

[h2]What next?[/h2]
Please keep your feedback coming - you are essential in helping us make Alaskan Road Truckers the best trucking life simulator. Let us know what you think after watching the video above and let us know what you’d like to see in the game - we’d love to hear from you.

Hello truckers,
we are heading in a slightly different direction… How do you like the new key art for the game? 🛣️



PS. Stay with us on 30th May 🤫

Hi, Truckers,
We are getting back on the road with new information regarding ATS! Today, we want to take the time and talk about bringing authenticity to the Alaskan World.

As you may know, our team has been hard at work creating a game that truly captures the essence of Alaska. We want players to feel like they are actually driving through the rugged terrain and experiencing this incredible state's unique challenges and beauty. To bring this level of authenticity to the game, our designers have been extensively researching and studying the Alaskan world. We've consulted with experts in the field, studied maps, weather, and topography to bring you the best possible experience.

[h2]WEATHER CONDITIONS[/h2]

One of the biggest challenges we faced was accurately representing the ever-changing weather conditions in Alaska. We wanted players to feel the real-life impact of snow, ice, wind, and rain as they navigate through the various terrains. To achieve this, we studied weather patterns in Alaska to ensure that the in-game weather accurately reflects what players would experience in real life:



[h2]POINTS OF INTEREST AND LANDMARKS[/h2]

We've also put a lot of effort into recreating Alaska's various landscapes and landmarks. From iconic buildings such as the Igloo Hotel, an abandoned hotel located about a 4-hour drive north of Anchorage, to the towering peaks of the Alaska Range, we've worked to create a realistic and immersive environment for players to explore.

Overall, we're confident that Alaskan Truck Simulator will provide players with a truly authentic and immersive experience of the Alaskan world. We can't wait for you to get behind the wheel and experience it for yourself! Stay tuned for more updates!
