A new videogame called “Route 66 Simulator” is coming to the Steam platform later this year.
The developers are Grande Games, NPC Games and Playway, and the expected release date is the third quarter of 2023.
Here’s a brief description of the game:
Have you ever dreamed about leaving everything behind and setting out on a great road trip across the United States? Get a budget, build your car and make your dream come true! Try to survive on the most famous road in the world!
The official trailer, released just a few days ago:
The screenshots on the videogame’s homepage and the trailer made me somewhat unimpressed. The mesas in one image recall Monument Valley, which is 200 miles from Route 66. The landmarks and background scenery are OK but somewhat “meh.”
But the game still is under development. Perhaps the Route 66 scenes will be a lot more detailed and true when it goes live.
