Schaffhausen, Switzerland â December 22, 2025 â To round up a very successful year leading up to the release of Transport Fever 3 in 2026, Urban Games has just released the highly anticipated third episode of their âFirst Lookâ series.
In this episode, we see that Transport Fever 3 raises the bar for transport management simulations across the board. Infrastructure has been improved, alongside a complete overhaul of tools and traffic management by introducing some of the most requested community features from its predecessor. This is not just another sequel; itâs the next major leap for the genre and expectations are higher than ever. From advanced traffic tools to deeper urban mechanics, every system works together to create the most responsive and rewarding experience yet.
In addition to the video, exclusive press materials are available, including high-quality vehicle images, B-roll footage, and more in the official press kit.
Watch the brand-new trailer below:
Key Features included in this new âFirst Lookâ episode include:
- Traffic Simulation has been completely revamped. Vehicles now better react to their surroundings, changing lanes, overtaking slower traffic, and dynamically choosing the fastest routes. Road construction tools have also been completely rebuilt. Create intersections at any angle, design complex junctions with realistic road markings, and fine-tune traffic. Itâs up to you to take the gameâs traffic simulation to the next level!
- Citizens become unhappy if their travel time takes too long. This influences your reputation with a city and its growth. Comfort is also an important consideration, as it makes citizens more patient if provided adequately. Stations have been completely reworked and are fully modular. Specialist add-ons increase capacity, improve comfort, and extend reach, directly impacting passenger happiness and town growth. However, expanded infrastructure increases noise and pollution, forcing players to balance progress with livability.
- Rail systems now feature three different track types, each with unique speed, cost, and pollution characteristics. There is no universal âbestâ option, playersâ strategy will depend on choosing the right track for each line, service and situation. Advanced signalling and train priority controls ensure express services operate at maximum speed, even on busy networks.
- To support the overhauled city-growth mechanics, trams are massively expanded, with dedicated tracks, flexible lane usage, underground construction options, cargo tram support, and seamless integration with traditional rail as light rail systems. Used well, they dramatically reduce road traffic while keeping citizens moving efficiently, especially when combined with train infrastructure.
- Environmental impact matters more than ever. Noise barriers, tree-lined avenues, and smart routing help counter pollution, but there is no single solution to fulfill all city needs. Only careful implementation, smart planning and compromise will ensure minimal consequences. Vehicles degrade over time; In this new installment in the Transport Fever franchise, not looking after your vehicles causes them to lose speed, comfort, and efficiency and increases noise and pollution. But donât fret! You can eliminate noise pollution, take in the sights or simply avoid heavy traffic areas.
In Transport Fever 3, profit alone is not enough. Town satisfaction, smart expansion, and efficient service delivery define long-term success. Every decision feeds into city growth and your legacy as a transport tycoon.
