astragon Entertainment and stillalive Studios have announced that the next iteration in their acclaimed vehicle simulation franchise, Bus Simulator 21, will include two brand new, officially licensed Mercedes-Benz eCitaro buses for the first time in the series history when the title launches for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on September 7th 2021, 2021. Buses from the celebrated German manufacturer’s impressive Citaro and CapaCity series will also be featured in the game.
A long-standing relationship with Mercedes-Benz has allowed astragon and stillallive to recreate eCitaro buses in remarkable detail. In addition to a small two-doored, 12-meter-long, maneuverable eCitaro electric bus with two axles, Bus Simulator 21 will include a large three-door, 18-meter-long eCitaro G articulated bus equipped with three axles and plenty of space for passengers. Enthusiasts will also be able to hit the road with other Mercedes-Benz buses like the Citaro G, the agile Citaro K, an up-to-date version of the Citaro O 530, the CapaCity, and the extra-long CapaCity L articulated bus.
Overall, 30 officially licensed buses from world-renowned brands will be featured in the final game. Fans will be able to steer city buses, articulated buses, e-buses, and a double-decker bus while brushing up on their driving skills and taking in the sights of the European-based city “Seaside Valley” and a new San Francisco Bay Area-inspired setting called “Angel Shores.”
Bus Simulator 21 will release on September 7th, 2021 for 34.99 EUR / 34.99 USD / 29.99 GBP (RSP) for PC as well as for 49.99 EUR / 49,99 USD / 44.99 GBP (RSP) for PlayStation4 and Xbox One. The title will be playable on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S via backwards compatibility.
