With extensive modding opportunities and a 2.5x bigger game world compared to its predecessor, Bus Simulator 18 will deliver the most complete Bus Simulator experience ever.

In addition to buses by Daimler Buses and MAN as well as a more the twice as large game world compared to its predecessor, players of Bus Simulator 18 can already look forward to even more possibilities in regards to bus and city modding as well as a synchronous multiplayer mode.

Bus Simulator 18 is being developed in Unreal Engine 4, which means even more and better creative options in regards to the game’s graphics for stillalive studios.

While driving around the city they will not only be able to meet and see each other in real-time as well, but also change buses to get a lift with one of their colleagues or completely switch buses to complete the route of another bus driver.

In the event that a teammate will be unavailable the other members of the virtual multiplayer-company will of course still be able continue playing either alone or with a reduced team to keep advancing their common bus enterprise. It is also of course possible to use the end of a successful bus driving day to leisurely discover Seaside Valley on foot – either alone or together as a team – and go in search of the many secrets and sights hidden in the sprawling metropolis

This includes the options to drive by day and night as well as an improved progression system and significantly expanded modding options, which now allow not only for the addition of the player’s own bus models but also the creation of whole new cities. To top it all off, Bus Simulator 18 now comes with a synchronous multiplayer mode where up to four players will be able to play together at the same time.
