It would be a dreamy world if you could carelessly drive around Alaska, but let’s be real, you need these bucks to fuel your truck and feed yourself, ain’t you? How to do it better than driving a truck across the entire state? Experience changing weather, vehicles’ behavior on snow, cross the uneven roads, and find out how is your truck’s condition affected by harsh climate or the driver itself –this is just to name a few elements of the game. What comes to your mind when you think of Alaska? Endless wastelands, towering peaks, harsh winters, and sunny spring-like meadows. Buckle up, we are about to set off for the proper adventure! EST.Get behind the wheel of a mighty truck and jump into the boots of the Alaskan truckers, challenge and be challenged by one of the harshest and dangerous environments.Īlaskan Truck Simulator is a unique game that blends the well-known simulators’ classics with the ruthless environment of Alaska and elements of survival.

Some fight-pickers in the comments under SCS Software’s announcement blog and Facebook post told the studio to stick to truckin’, and complained that this event was an unwelcome reminder of the real world.

OK, pretty timely gesture, statement of solidarity with the long-haulers who have been keeping us going the past year, right? Well, not exactly. The prize: an achievement, plus a Hope Trucker air freshener for your cab. The catch: The cargo in question has zero damage tolerance, so drivers need a Fragile Cargo skill of level 1 or better. SCS Software’s “ Hauling Hope” event is pretty straightforward: Make seven or more undamaged deliveries of the COVID-19 Vaccine Cargo. Big rig drivers in either Euro Truck Simulator 2 or American Truck Simulator are being invited to carry virtual deliveries of COVID-19 vaccines, although even this kind of thing can’t go forward without some people complaining that it’s a political statement.
