News: A new simulation title has arrived on consoles and PC that has incorporated community feedback.

The sim vets at Aerosoft and developer Nano Games have announced the launch of Offroad Truck Simulator: Heavy Duty Challenge. Originally released as “Heavy Duty Challenge,” the new version brings additional game modes, vehicles, and maps to PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.

Offroad Truck Simulator: Heavy Duty Challenge incorporates community feedback to deliver an expanded experience to simulation fans and off-roading enthusiasts alike, featuring keyboard and mouse, traditional gamepad, and steering wheel with force feedback support for unparalleled realism. Embark on transportation missions in the new Cargo Mode, which tasks drivers with making deliveries across the new Utah map or a dense European forest. Complete missions to earn credits to purchase new vehicles for additional challenges.

Choose from over a dozen trucks, each with fully modeled cabins and realistic vehicle physics. New additions, including the Hummer H1 and 4-axle Mercedes SK 3553, expand the available offerings, allowing drivers to select a vehicle based on their preferences and needs while completing challenges.

Compete in the expanded Sports Mode from Heavy Duty Challenge®, which features trials in Europa Truck Trial races. Drive trucks over complex courses that require mastery while scaling obstacles, navigating narrow routes, and more. Race against the clock to earn the best time and climb online leaderboards for the ultimate bragging rights.

Explore open-world environments in the Off-Road Trips Mode for a break in the action. Select a vehicle and set out into the rocky flats of Utah or the forests of Europe on a relaxing cross-country trip. Hunt for secrets and soak in the scenery during open-ended procedural drives with randomized goals dictated by vehicle selection, allowing for an endless sense of adventure.

“With the relaunch and expansion of Offroad Truck Simulator: Heavy Duty Challenge, we are thrilled to welcome simulation fans to the exciting world of offroad driving,” said Maarten Janello, Product Manager at Aerosoft. “The new game modes, vehicles, and map based on the state of Utah create a dynamic offering that lets players explore the wilderness behind the wheel of a truck!”
