New gameplay footage was recently released (during The Future Games Show) which showcases the insane level of gameplay mechanic detail set to be available.
From filling up with gas to buying chocolate from a convenience store and even cooking microwave meals, you’ll not only be able to drive your customised truck but also walk around the environment. You must also manage your health and resources, upgrading your base as you progress.
The aforementioned dynamic weather, and time, conditions are a stand-out feature, although perhaps the overall graphical fidelity at this stage isn’t genre-leading. The north-western US state will also see a change of seasons, with roadside furniture changing to match the time of year.
In what looks to be a SnowRunner-style structure, there will be a number of challenges to complete, where transporting precious cargo, such as a tank or a large digger, will be required.
The title has progressed significantly during the past year, initially unveiled in 2022 before offering an early demo on Steam to gather feedback. During this time, there’s been a change in name and release date.
Alaskan Road Truckers is created by Road Studio, published by Green Man Gaming Publishing and will be released for PC, Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 in the fall of 2023.
