News: The next entrant in the popular Bus Simulator series finally has a release date and some new buses added to its roster.

If you are waiting for Bus Simulator 21 to pull into the station, Astragon finally gave us a date. Releasing later this year in September, Bus Simulator 21 will be available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC. It will also be available on Xbox Series X|S and PS5 through backward compatibility. It is a big disappointment that this new game wasn’t made natively for the current generation of consoles but hopefully the next one will be different.

Bus Simulator 21 will include two brand new, officially licensed Mercedes-Benz eCitaro buses for the first time in franchise history. Buses from the celebrated German manufacturer’s impressive Citaro and CapaCity series will also be featured in the game. The eCitaro buses have been recreated in remarkable detail for Bus Simulator 21. 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. You 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 European-based city “Seaside Valley” and a new San Francisco Bay Area-inspired setting called “Angel Shores.”

Bus Simulator 21 will also allow fans to manage their own local transport company alone via single-player or with friends via the game’s cooperative multiplayer component. With two massive open-world maps, refined driving gameplay and a variety of expanded features, enthusiasts can look forward to rolling around in the most extensive bus driving experience in the history of the popular game series later this year.

Bus Simulator 21 will release on September 07, 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 PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The title will be playable on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S via backwards compatibility.
