Here is an overview of the game and publishing partnership, via Paradox Interactive:
About the Game
Transport Fever 3 challenges players to design, build, and manage transport empires spanning railways, roads, shipping lanes, and air routes across four distinctive environments: temperate, desert, tropical and new sub-arctic. Each environment offers a unique set of challenges and gameplay possibilities thanks to massively upgraded terrain generation, all supporting a dynamic, fully simulated world occupied by settlements and industries that evolve in response to player actions. Players can build their worlds using vehicles covering a century of transport innovation with over 250 authentic trains, buses, trams, trucks, ships, planes, and, for the first time, helicopters.
About the Partnership
Both companies are rooted in a player-centric approach to game development, and have identified a natural overlap in their design pillars and in their fanbases, allowing the game to continue on its current development path, amplified and empowered by Paradox’s expertise in management titles. The agreement represents an ideal fit for Paradox and Urban Games alike, offering benefits to both companies and players as the game works towards its scheduled release in 2026.
The partnership pertains to the publishing of Transport Fever 3, but it does not include intellectual property rights.
