What's Happening?
Saber Interactive has released a new update for RoadCraft, introducing a 'hard mode' with several difficulty modifiers. This update aims to reintroduce driving complexity to the game, which had been simplified compared to its predecessor, SnowRunner. Key additions include limited fuel and realistic gearboxes, allowing manual gear-shifting. The update coincides with the launch of RoadCraft's first expansion pack, 'Rebuild,' which adds two new maps and 100 missions. The expansion also introduces a new vehicle and variants for existing ones. Players must start a new game to enable hard mode, as it cannot be applied to existing games.
Why It's Important?
The introduction of hard mode addresses player feedback regarding the simplified driving model in RoadCraft. By offering more challenging simulation features, Saber Interactive aims to appeal to dedicated fans of vehicle simulation games. The update enhances the game's realism, potentially attracting players who enjoy complex logistics and driving challenges. The expansion pack adds significant content, increasing the game's replayability and value. These changes may improve RoadCraft's reputation among its community and strengthen its position in the vehicle simulation genre.
What's Next?
Players interested in the new hard mode will need to start fresh games to experience the enhanced simulation features. The expansion pack's new maps and missions offer additional gameplay opportunities, encouraging exploration and strategic planning. Saber Interactive may continue to refine RoadCraft based on player feedback, potentially introducing more updates and expansions. The game's reception following these changes will likely influence future development decisions and community engagement strategies.
