'American Truck Simulator' puts you behind the wheel of a big rig

Tired of bringing destruction in Goat Simulator? Satisfied your inner farmer with Farming Simulator? Next week you'll have yet another simulated world to experience, this one courtesy of 'American Truck Simulator.' Unlike the other two games, this one will have you hitting the road...behind the wheel of a big rig, letting you pretend you're driving cargo across the nation.

SCS Software released the launch trailer for American Truck Simulator today, and in it we see exactly what we expect: big trucks cruising down American roads. "6AM. Leaving home," the voice says. "You know, I love this feeling." The narrator — a trucker, you see — talks about what makes life on the road so great.

The trailer has a generous amount of game footage, almost all of which is of big trucks rolling down the road. The narrator names a bunch of big cities you'll get to visit during your simulated travels, as well as the tasty meals you can stop to eat along the way. There's also a heft dose of trucker lingo for that added element of realism.

The game isn't just about driving, though — according to SCS Software, you'll also be tasked with building a big transportation business form scratch. The game will be launching on February 3, and will be available through Steam.
