Road Truckers: New Beginning Gets Gamescom Trailer

Developer Road Studio released a new trailer for Road Truckers: New Beginning‘s appearance at this week’s Gamescom event in Cologne. The 80-second video gives a quick look at many of the gameplay elements of the open-ended trucking simulation RPG, which is planned to release for PC and PlayStation 5 in 2026. The developer also posted a message detailing the tribulations it has faced with its booth at Gamescom, and has begun sign-ups for a playtest on Steam.

Road Truckers: New Beginning takes players to the small fictional South American country of Vale Rico, where they aim to revitalise their town by starting a new business, inspiring townsfolk, and reinvigorating the local economy. Players can customise the interior and exterior of their truck as well as replace its various parts (such as engine and suspension), impacting the driving simulation elements. Players will need to embark on quests and jobs and can navigate via GPS or explore uncharted roads and shortcuts. Abilities can be upgraded, with players also needing to eat, sleep, and treat injuries and conditions.
