Simulator games have been around for a long time, and they certainly have a large player base. There are several sorts of simulator games available. These could range from occupational to vehicle one and anything in between. There are numerous similar games in the field of car simulators. At the same time, there’s a new one on the way to everyone’s PCs very soon.
Here we look at what we know so far about the game in terms of gameplay, release date, and other in-game details that bus simulator aficionados may find useful.
SimBus Release Date
SimBus was first introduced in November 2020. Since then, the developers have only released one announcement trailer. The trailer depicts the various buses and routers that you would be able to drive through. Nevertheless, there isn’t much information available on the release date. The developers have yet to specify a release date. Nonetheless, the game is expected to be launched later this year or early next year.
SimBus – Publisher and Developer
SimRail S.A., the same studio behind the early access SimRail game published earlier this year, is developing SimBus. SimBus’ publishing team is PlayWay S.A. PlayWay S.A has also published a number of popular games, including SimRail, Car Mechanic Simulator 21, Home Flipper, Kitchen Simulator, WW2 Rebuilder, Jail Simulator, and Thief Simulator, to mention a few.
Simbus Trailer and Gameplay
When it comes to gameplay footage or trailers, the developers have only published one, which you can view by clicking here. When we look at the trailer, we see a variety of buses, including some that are quite ancient. If you’ve ever wanted to see what ancient buses looked like and how they sounded while driving around in circles, this game is for you.
There is virtually little gameplay shown in the trailer. You can observe the buses on their routes going out and about, picking up and dropping off passengers at various bus stops. These routers are simple to set up and manage. The aesthetics are what set this game apart. The game’s graphics and music are quite realistic. Based on what we’ve seen with SimRail, we can expect SimBus to be on par, if not better.
SimBus Bus Customization
It’s crucial to be able to personalize the bus to your satisfaction, especially in a simulator game that features automobiles. Obviously, you could always build liveries based on real-world buses, but having your own adds a creative element to the game. You can easily recolor your buses and set up routes and bus stops across many maps. SimBus buses will be from the United States, the United Kingdom, and China, so there will be a wide selection of buses for you to drive and explore in.
SimBus Modes and Platforms
The advantage of SimBus is that you may immediately enter multiplayer mode. On the map, you will be able to observe your buddies driving about in real time. On top of the bus, there will be small name tags indicating who is driving. In terms of platform availability, it appears like the game will be released on PC via Steam. There is no word on whether the game will be launched on other game consoles or cloud gaming platforms.
