Paradox Interactive is joining forces with Urban Games to bring Transport Fever 3 to a wider audience, pairing two companies known for deep, player-first strategy experiences. The idea behind this partnership is straightforward: build on everything that made the series a favorite and push it further with a bigger scope, smarter systems, and a more immersive world—without losing the satisfying management loop fans already love. While Paradox will take care of publishing duties, the Transport Fever intellectual property will remain with Urban Games.
In Transport Fever 3, your mission is to create and control a sprawling transport empire that spans multiple systems and thrives over time. You’ll design efficient rail networks, lay down road routes, establish shipping lanes, and develop air connections, all while responding to a world that doesn’t stay still. The simulation is being expanded so that cities and industries evolve dynamically based on how you supply them, how well you connect them, and how your transport decisions shape growth. In other words, your network isn’t just moving cargo and passengers—it’s actively influencing the development of the world around it.
A major highlight this time is the broader range of environments. Transport Fever 3 will feature four distinct regions: temperate, desert, tropical, and a new sub-arctic setting. Each region brings unique logistical challenges, encouraging you to rethink strategies instead of relying on the same approach for every map. The terrain generation is also getting a notable upgrade, aiming for maps that feel more natural, organic, and less predictable from one playthrough to the next—great news for players who value replayability in transport management games.
Vehicles, as always, are at the heart of the experience, and Transport Fever 3 is expanding the roster in a big way. The game will include more than 250 authentic vehicles spanning over 100 years of transport history. Familiar options like trains, buses, trucks, ships, and planes are returning, but there’s a significant newcomer: helicopters. Their arrival should open up new possibilities for flexible routing, tricky terrain, and specialized logistics solutions when traditional infrastructure isn’t enough.
Transport Fever 3 is planned for release in 2026 on PC (Steam), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. With deeper simulation, more diverse regions, improved map generation, and an expanded vehicle lineup, it’s shaping up to be a major step forward for fans of transport simulation and strategy management games.
